The press service of Samsung told Gazeta.ru that the court's decision to ban the sale of smartphones in Russia has not yet entered into force and is being appealed.
“Samsung is not planning any changes in operating activities,” the company said and added that they are now operating normally.
Earlier it was reported that sales of more than 60 models of Samsung smartphones were banned in Russia. The ban applies to models from the 2017 Samsung Galaxy J5 to the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Rossiyskaya Gazeta said that the company would appeal the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court in a patent dispute with Sqwin SA, which demanded to ban the use of the Samsung Pay payment service in Russia, as it infringes its rights to the invention of the Electronic Payment System, protected by the Russian patent.
