Court Rules Against iPhone Ban in South Korea

A judge in South Korea on Thursday rejected a lawsuit filed by Samsung claiming Apple infringed on its smartphone patents.
Samsung, which sought $95,000 in damages and an iPhone ban in its home country of South Korea, accused Apple of violating three patents related to mobile messaging technology featured in the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. The court dismissed the lawsuit, ruling they can be developed using existing technologies, according to the New York Times.

“We are disappointed by the court’s decision,” Samsung said in a statement. “As Apple has continued to infringe our patented mobile technologies, we will continue to take the measures necessary to protect our intellectual property rights.”
This is the latest back-and-forth legal battle between the two companies. Last year in South Korea, a judge ruled in favor of Samsung on a case related to patent infringement, but last month, a U.S. court ordered Samsung to pay Apple $290 million in related infringement damages of its own.
Even the Obama administration got involved in August on a proposed ban of Apple products, vetoing a United States International Trade Commission decision that was initially viewed as an unexpected patent battle victory for Samsung.
“We are glad the Korean court joined others around the world in standing up for real innovation and rejecting Samsung’s ridiculous claims,” Apple said in a statement on Thursday.
