Samsung fails to block iPads, iPhones in Japan

Samsung came up short in its bid to block sales of Apple’s iPads and iPhones in Japan, AllThingsD reported.

The Tokyo District Court ruled Thursday, Feb 28, that Apple’s iOS devices do not infringe a Samsung patent on wireless transmission technology and that the Korean company has no right to seek damages against Apple, let alone a sales ban.

Samsung said it was “disappointed that our argument was not accepted by the court.”
