Tokyo judge ruled that Samsung's smartphones and Galaxy Tablet 7 did not infringe on Apple's patents.
Apple has officially filed for an appeal in one of its losses against Samsung in one of the many patent cases between the two technology giants
The firm has filed the necessary paperwork that it hopes will reverse a Tokyo judge's decision that smartphones and tablets belonging to Samsung not infringing on Apple's patents.
Apple had initially filed the aforementioned lawsuit during August, where it accused Samsung's Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Tablet 7 infringing on its patents pertaining to the synchronization of music and video to servers.
A few days before the lawsuit's decision was made, Apple had experienced its biggest ever victory against Samsung by being awarded $1.05 billion in damages, which jeopardizes the sale of several Samsung devices in the U.S. The latter, however, has requested for the trial to be dismissed due to the judge's personal history.
Samsung has also filed a lawsuit against the iPhone 5 following its release, while Apple were dealt legal blows when a sales ban against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Nexus were both overturned.
Relations between koreans and japanese are pretty bad and there are historic reasons for that, you moron.

Shame on you, Lucy Koh...

If patent offices actually checked patents for prior art both in existing patents and in-the-wild along with assess their technical merit, most of Apple and software patents in general would be denied, we would have far fewer ridiculous patent troll lawsuits and possibly much cheaper products due to lower legal costs.
It's the jury foreman.
The title made me think that apple was appealing against samsung losing a lawsuit
You don't seem to know a lot about how the world's history and how the economics work. Japan is precisely one of the places where a South-Corean company would have little chance to attact the sympathy of a judge ! Maybe you were thinking that all Asians look the same, are yellow, eat rice and manufacture counterfeited products from Japan to Singapore... ;-)
Dude, you just won the Most Ignorant Comment prize.
"I have no love for Apple" - Of course you don't... your comment(s) show it.
use the japanese internet, and read some of their brilliant police work, and you will see thats not the case at all.
actually its a hive shock, with how much japan tends to not like korea.
You do know that South Korea and Japan are different countries?
Also it's like saying Apple won against Samsung in the US because of the same reason.
What about Apple losing in UK(thus the entire Europe)? Did the whole world side with Samsung because they are all Asians? lol, stupid iSheep making stupid comments. As far as I know, Apple can only win in US court system.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know police work was technology.
Sorry, I'll just throw out my computer and get a cop to run Crysis.
Probably should with your brain being the way it is. Cops over there are about clueless when it comes to cybercrime
