In their continual quest for glory, technology giants Samsung and Apple are in a serious case. A Federal Appeals Court on Thursday blocked the sale of an order line of Samsung Smartphones found by San Jose jury. The reason behind? Samsung copied a key technology of Apple's iPhones into their smartphones.

In a 2-to-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit sided Apple's submitted sanction that would make Samsung take out all the copied features or remove those smartphones in the market. Samsung on the other hand, urged Washington, D.C. based appeals court to refuse the bid.

In the second trial in 2014, an eight-member jury found out that Samsung violated two Apple patents. Samsung was sanctioned to pay Apple nearly $120 million for the damages.

This was after Samsung was sanctioned to pay Apple almost $500 million in damages last 2012 for the same reason. Samsung is planning though to appeal that ruling to the Supreme Court.

The second trial jury determined two iPhone patents, the slide-to-lock and auto-correct features, on which Samsung copied on nine of their smartphones.

Moreover, another iPhone patent was copied, this time it was on Samsung's Galaxy S3. A staggering $52 million is sanctioned to Samsung for the damages which comprise the largest amount of the total sanction.

The Thursday's ruling gave Apple a great advantage regarding the patent fight although U.S District Judge Lucy Koh rejected the order after the trial.

But according to the appeals court, the injunction of forcing Samsung to remove all the smartphones involved in the copied patents was fair (at least for iPhone consumers).
