Samsung has been making moves in its attempt to riposte the potentially devastating effect of its recent trial loss but recent progress looks little more than piecemeal. Samsung has seen the preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 dissolved and has now added the iPhone 5 to its list of devices infringing its LTE...
