It has bagged a victory in this fight after a long time. An appeals court in the US overturned a jury verdict today which imposed $120 million in damages on Samsung for infringing on Apple's quick links patent. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., ruled that Samsung did not infringe on those Apple patents and that two of the company's patents covering its auto-correct and slide-to-unlock features were invalid. The court also finds Apple liable for infringing on one of Samsung's patents. This was a unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit which is the country's top court that specializes in patent issues. Today's ruling reverse a jury verdict handed down in May 2014 from a federal court in San Jose, California in which Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $119.6 million for infringing on its patents. Both companies have not yet commented on this decision.
