Following an emergency motion to stop execution of a $625million judgement against it, Apple has won a reversal of a jury decision.

Last October, a jury found the company guilty of patent infringement in the Coverflow, Spotlight Search, and Time Machine features of the operating system it uses in its Macintosh computers. Apple would have had paid $625 million so it filed an emergency motion to delay the execution of the jury judgement which it claimed to be excessive and has asked the court to re-evaluate the evidence presented.

Following this, U.S. District Judge Leonard Davis noted that while the jury's take on the case is important, the group might have been unduly influenced by Mirror Worlds' argument of which the court is not convinced to be fully supported by concrete evidence. His decision went on further to declare that MIrror Worlds, who have brought the suit against Apple have failed to support their claims against Apple with a factual basis. Hence, there was nothing on which to base the jury's decision save for the plaintiff's claims, Judge Davis said.
