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.
