Apple wins smartphone patent appeal against SamsungSeptember 19, 2015 - 13:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Remember that landmark lawsuit that made the headlines last year when a judge ordered Samsung to pay Apple $120m in damages for patent infringement? It's still yet to be fully resolved, if you can believe that, Digital Spy said. Although the U.S. court agreed that Samsung violated Apple's patents for slide-to-unlock, autocorrect, and converting text into hyperlinks, the judge ruled against the iPhone maker's bid to have the offending devices pulled from sale. However, Apple has just won an appeal against the latter ruling and the case is on its way back to the lower district court. It seems the Cupertino firm won't let this lie out of principle - the phones in question, like the Samsung Galaxy S3, are almost four years old and rarely seen in stores now. Samsung has altered the software on its more recent devices to avoid being hauled back into the courtroom, but has vowed to challenge the latest ruling nonetheless. "We will pursue our rights to have the full Court of Appeal review today's decision," said the firm in a statement. Last year, the two firms signed an agreement that saw both sides bury the hatchet on all patent disputes outside of the U.S., but that doesn't appear to have stopped hostilities on Apple's home turf.
