During this night a court in Tokyo, Japan, won the cause Company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in a lawsuit filed against Korean competitors, Samsung. The process was based on a possible infringement of an invention patent owned by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, he describing the system bounce back, a system that forces the iOS interface (or the icons) to return to the normal position when the user scrolls excessively towards the end of an electronic document. The decision concerns old versions of smartphones Samsung, because the models recently released by the company have changed the system used in the past, the Koreans implementing a blue stripe to delimit the end of a document.
(Reuters) - A Tokyo court ruled on Friday that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd had infringed on rival Apple Inc's patent for a "bounce-back" feature on earlier models of its popular smartphones. Apple claimed that Samsung had copied the "bounce-back", in which icons on its smartphones and tablets quiver back when users scroll to the end of an electronic document. Samsung has already changed its interface on recent models to show a blue line at the end of documents. The Japanese court's decision comes after the US Patent and Trademark office judged in April that Apple's patent for the bounce-back feature was invalid, allowing older Samsung models that had a similar feature to remain on sale.
The decision of the Japanese is interesting because in the USA The Patent and Trademark Office declared the patent for this system invalid two months ago, but there Apple appealed against the decision and it can be overturned. Considering that in the process in Japan old Samsung terminals are considered, it is unlikely that the company's sales will be seriously affected, and for now there is not even talk of a possible withdrawal of some devices from sale, the Koreans being able to appeal against court decisions.
