Japanese court rejects Samsung's case against Apple

23 October, 2012

Samsung had filed a case in Japan back in September asking to block the sales of all the iPhones. According to Samsung, the iPhone 4 and the 4S were infringing on their patents regarding the technology used in the downloading of apps and the airplane mode.

As such, the sales of the iPhones in Japan continue as before.
