Apple didn't violate Samsung patents, says S. Korea court

On December 12th, a court in Seoul court ruled that Apple didn’t violate some of Samsung Electronics’ patents. 

Samsung Electronics was seeking to block sales of certain Apple phones and table computers in South Korea.

Samsung had claimed in Seoul that some Apple products had infringed on three of its patents related to the messaging technology used on mobile devices.  The company said Apple’s iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 smartphones had violated two of the three patents.

However, the Seoul Central District Court rejected all of Samsung’s claims against Apple, for 100 million won, in damages and a ban on sales in South Korea of older iPhone and iPad models.
