Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) patent is not validated by Samsung’s smartphones, Tokyo District court said. Apple had argued that Samsung smartphones violate patents that help synchronise video and music data in devices to cloud servers.
The war between Apple Inc (AAPL) and Samsung Electronics is going on in several parts of the world. In Australia, Apple Inc and Samsung are battling over 3G patents with Samsung claiming that Apple Inc violated its patents in iPad and iPhone. 3G is common for almost all new devices coming in the market and there were allegations in the Australia trial that these companies weren’t ready to discuss a standard price for the patents involved. Before a discussion was going on the web that Samsung was not only copying Apple’s devices design but also Apple Inc’s Stores design.
Last Friday, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) was awarded 1.05 bln by a US jury and ordered Samsung to pay this heavy amount for violating several of Apple’s patents. Apple Inc wasted no time filing a notice with the jury mentioning eight Samsung products it will now seek to have banned in the US.
After the recent decision by a Tokyo court, Samsung Electronics praised the jury for their decision and said: “We will continue to offer highly innovative products to consumers, and continue our contributions toward the mobile industry’s development,”
Judge Tamotsu Shoji said in a session lasting a few minutes, that he didn’t think Samsung products come into the realm of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) technology and released the lawsuit, filed by Apple Inc (AAPL) in August last year.
The battle over Smartphones and tablets patents is not going to end any time soon. It’s not about who invented first, but the battle has clearly become about cornering the essential patents in mobile technology.
