Apple Wins Again — ITC Rules They Didn't Violate Samsung Patents

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday September 15, 2012 @01:27AM from the mercy-rule-goes-into-effect-soon dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A preliminary ruling from the International Trade Commission found that Apple did not violate four of Samsung's patents in the design of the iPhone. 'The patents in the complaint are related to 3G wireless technology, the format of data packets for high-speed transmission, and integrating functions like web surfing with mobile phone functions.' The complaint was filed by Samsung in 2011, and a final confirmation is due next January. Apple has similar claims against Samsung awaiting ITC judgment; the preliminary ruling is expected in mid-October."

how does Apple win here but Samsung loses on something as ambiguous as design.
Pretty obviously because Samsung did copy from Apple. But Apple didn't copy from Samsung. Samsung's case was a meritless tit-for-tat lawsuit.
