    Samsung finally bags a win in patent dispute with Apple

    Samsung has been fighting Apple in patent infringement lawsuits for years now and the latter has prevailed mostly. About three months ago Samsung announced that it was paying Apple $548 million in damages while saying that it reserved the right to reclaim the amount if the judgement was reversed, modified, vacated or set aside. Samsung is now calling on the Supreme Court of the United States to take up this matter and hopefully, settle this patent dispute with Apple once and for all.

    It has bagged a victory in this fight after a long time. An appeals court in the US overturned a jury verdict today which imposed $120 million in damages on Samsung for infringing on Apple's quick links patent. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., ruled that Samsung did not infringe on those Apple patents and that two of the company's patents covering its auto-correct and slide-to-unlock features were invalid. The court also finds Apple liable for infringing on one of Samsung's patents. This was a unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit which is the country's top court that specializes in patent issues. Today's ruling reverse a jury verdict handed down in May 2014 from a federal court in San Jose, California in which Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $119.6 million for infringing on its patents. Both companies have not yet commented on this decision.
