RULED....A
South Korean court ruled Friday that US tech giant Apple and Samsung
Electronics had infringed on each other’s patents, ordering damage payments
from both firms.
THE COURT ruled that Apple
breached two Samsung technology patents, and ordered it to pay 40 million won
($35,242) in damages, court officials said.
It also separately ordered
Samsung to pay 25 million won for violating one of Apple’s patents, Yonhap news
agency said.
Samsung filed a lawsuit
against Apple in Seoul in April last year regarding infringement of patents
related to telecommunications standards.
Apple responded in June by
filing a counter suit claiming Samsung copied its design and user interface of
its iPhone and iPad.
The ruling comes ahead of a
US jury verdict that is expected to signal the future course of their global
fight for supremacy in the smartphone market. (AFP)
