We hold that the district court abused its discretion in determining that Apple established a sufficient causal nexus. In that light, we do not address Samsung’s argument with respect to the sufficiency of Apple’s allegations of harm.

Basically, I think they're saying "The district court made a technical mistake. We're not saying anything about who won the case." I think this means it goes back to trial. Any JDs want to correct me?



When they say "the district court abused its discretion in determining that Apple established a sufficient causal nexus" could they really be saying the district court didn't have the authority to make this determination?


Sounds more like they felt the court did have the authority, but did not make a ruling based enough on facts and established case law.

This seems somewhat relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discretion#Abuse_of_discretion
