Sprint has weighed in on the ongoing legal battle between Apple and Samsung, claiming that carriers are adversely affected when products are banned due to patent litigation. A FOSS Patents report details Sprint's amicus filing, which makes note of the effort that both carriers and hardware manufacturers put into bringing devices to market and says sales bans hurt more than just those companies accused of infringement. In its briefing, Sprint warns that more carriers would be harmed should the sort of preliminary ban seen with the Galaxy Nexus become more commonplace.
