A Delaware Chancery Court ruling in shareholder litigation over Allergan's Botox marketing had some stinging language for the plaintiffs bar, but the sting was worse for Allergan and other defendants. Now, thanks to lawyers at Gibson Dunn and Morris Nichols, it's been erased.

Judge Lucy Koh on Monday decided that she couldn't issue permanent injunctions against 26 Samsung products that a federal jury found violated Apple's patents. Her order applies a heightened standard established by the Federal Circuit that requires patentholders to show a direct link between lost market-share and a specific infringing feature of a competitor's product.

Samsung's bid to undo the $1 billion jury verdict it lost to Apple in August took a fascinating turn this week, when Samsung's lawyers at Quinn Emanuel unsealed allegations that the jury foreman lied during voir dire. And if the attack on the juror succeeds, it may be thanks to a Quinn Emanuel lawyer who wasn't even involved in the case.
