Universal search injunction (later stayed pending appeal) against Galaxy Nexus has been lifted completely by an appeal court. Earlier Apple had been granted an injunction for the '604 universal search bar patent by a district court. Appeals court found the decision to be in error stating the district court "abused it's discretion", Apple must prove that consumers are buying the Galaxy Nexus specifically for the '604 patent before an injunction can be issued AND it directly impacts sales of the iPhone.
Hopefully decisions and the precedent it sets we can start seeing an end to these lawsuits and more great products being created.
