Microsoft is already willing to license its patent to Samsung, and for a price that is known. If the court didn't issue an injunction, Microsoft would not really be harmed - if Samsung lost the case later it's quite clear what the damages would be and Microsoft have already made it clear that just financial compensation would be acceptable. If the court did issue an injunction, then Samsung could be irreparably harmed - and if Samsung subsequently win the case then it would be very difficult to make them whole again. IANAL. I don't see why any sensible court would issue such an injunction.
