Tokyo Intellectual Property High Court ruled in favour of Samsung and uphold the Tokyo District Court’s decision from August last year that ruled Samsung to not infringe Apple’s synchronization patent. The patent involved synchronizing music and video data on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets with servers. This is a major setback for Apple.
Similarly last week Apple won an important patent case against Samsung in Japan where Apple accused Samsung stealing it’s much hyped “bounce-back” patent. The feature causes the icons or images on a device’s screen to “bounce” when a user scrolls to the end of a file.
Samsung and Apple are fighting patent war all over the world and it does not look like there will be some settlement in near future.

Tokyo Court Ruled Samsung Infringed Apple ‘Bounce-Back’ Patent

Samsung-Apple patent war is not going to end soon. In a recent development a Tokyo District court ruled that Samsung infringed one of the Apple patent. The patent in this case is the “bounce-back patent. The feature causes the icons or images on a device’s screen to “bounce” when a user scrolls to the end of a file.
This ruling is not the final verdict and the case will continue in the court as the court figures out appropriate compensation for Apple.
Samsung’s recent mobile devices do not use this feature any more. Instead now if someone scrolls too far on a current Samsung device, the screen will show a blue light instead.
Let’s wait and watch where this ugly fight is going to head in coming days.
