Samsung won a patent lawsuit against Apple for synchronizing patent. Apple claimed that Samsung infringed its patent for synchronizing music and video data on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets with servers, Bloomberg reported. 

Apple had also alleged that Samsung copied its patent on smartphones and tablets last week. The patent covers “bounce-back” function which quivers when users scroll to the end of an electronic document. Tokyo court upheld Apple for this claim.
