Almost two years ago, the company Samsung introduced a lawsuit in South Korea against those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, trying to remove several iDevices from sale based on alleged patent infringements. After many court hearings and a lot of money spent by both companies, today the court presided over the case won the cause to those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in the battle with Samsung, refusing to ban the sale of terminals iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 si iPad 2, but refusing to grant damages of $95.100 to those from Samsung. Although Samsung argued that Apple infringed its patents that present technologies that can display summaries of messages received in terminals, and methods by which messages can be sent to groups, the evidence brought before the court did not convince it to grant him the cause.
A judge at the Seoul Central District Court said Apple products such as the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad2 did not violate Samsung's patents on short message display methods and messaging grouping features. The court ruled against a sale ban on the products and threw out Samsung's claim for 100 million won ($95,100) in damages. "We are glad the Korean court joined others around the world in standing up for real innovation and rejecting Samsung's ridiculous claims," Apple Korea spokesman Steve Park said.
This victory for those from Apple comes after a recently obtained in the USA that offered him damages of 280 million dollars based on patent infringements for several of its terminals, the Americans having the option to remove those devices from sale. Practically, lately Apple has managed to prove to the courts that Samsung copied its technologies and not only that, and so far Samsung has to pay almost 900 million dollars to Apple as damages for the infringement of its invention patents, and things could go a long way.
