Apple

may have won the
first round
in its ongoing patent dispute with Samsung, but the South Korean manufacturer continues to make headway in its other cases, including one involving the Galaxy Nexus.
According to
Bloomberg
, Samsung has been granted the right to continue selling its Galaxy Nexus smartphone in the United States before its patent-infringement claims are settled with Apple. The Cupertino, California-based tech giant accused Samsung of infringing on several of its patents relating to Siri. Apple was previously ordered to post a $95.6 million bond, which would be used to cover any losses incurred by Samsung if the case ended in its favor. Thus far, these patent cases have involved a lot of back-and-forth rulings, most of which have leaned in Samsung's favor. Apple recently
lost
its bid to keep Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States. Data from Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry revealed that sales of the Galaxy S III
actually increased
after the Apple-favoring verdict was announced in its domestic trial with Samsung. Another study, conducted by Localytics,
concurred with Chowdhry's findings

. In July, a British judge ruled that the iPad was
too cool
to be confused with a Samsung tablet. While that ruling may have sounded like a positive development for Apple, it actually prevented the company from halting sales of Samsung products. That same judge, Colin Birss, later instructed Apple to
publicly promote the differences
between the iPad and the Galaxy line of tablets. While Apple and Samsung are expected to head back to an American courtroom in 2013, the jury trial involving the Galaxy Nexus smartphone will not take place until March 2014.
