US court rejected Apple’s claim against Samsung

The patent war between Apple and Samsung continues. At the same time, it seems that all these proceedings are not only fed up with the participants in the litigation (probably, except Apple), but also the courts themselves. So, the other day the American court of the city of San Jose (California) rejected the claim of Apple to Samsung. The court found no patent law violations by the South Korean manufacturer.

Probably, this decision was unexpected for both parties, since Apple’s headquarters are located in California. In general, the decision of the court can be considered significant for the whole process.

It is also worth remembering that a ban on the sale of controversial devices of Koreans was recently lifted in Australia. So far, the ban continues to operate in Germany, but probably this is also not for long. Immediately after the decision was made by a US court, Samsung representatives stated that they considered this result to be one of the most significant patent disputes with the Yabloko in the long process. It is clear that the design discussion again went on, Samsung representatives believe that design cannot be subject to litigation, as there are no exact criteria on this issue and there can not be.

However, Apple is going to appeal, believing that the court did not fully understand the problem itself. Representatives of this corporation believe that the Korean manufacturer used not only the design of devices from Apple, but also used similar packaging for goods, used similar controls in the design of their devices, etc. Apple, in principle, still has chances to win the “war”. despite losing one of the “battles”.

Interestingly, after the decision of the American court became known, Samsung shares immediately rose in price. Previously, they only fell, with each new court decision banning the sale of devices of this company.
