Samsung loses on its own home court

Written by

Big loss for Samsung today.

Samsung suffered a loss in its home country of South Korea Thursday, where a judge cleared Apple of infringing on three different smartphone patents held by Samsung. Apple can continue to sell its iPhones in South Korea without facing a ban.

“We are disappointed by the court’s decision,” Samsung said in a statement. “We will continue to take the measures necessary to protect our intellectual property rights.”

You do that, Samsung. You do that.



  • I was impressed that the court ruled against them. I thought Samsung basically owned the country.

    • No Name

      Actually Korea is a manufacturing colony not a country. They need to learn not to bite the hand that feeds them. I’m sure Apple and many other companies looking at alternatives. Once they find them, bye bye Samsung. It happened to Japan.
