samsung has been dealt another legal blow in its patent war with apple.
judge lucy koh - who has been presiding over the dispute between the
two tech giants since 2012 - has ruled that samsung infringed apple's auto-
complete text patent. the auto-complete function suggests completed
words after a user has
part-typed them so messages can be inputted more quickly.
the judge also threw out samsung's claim that apple had infringed on one
of its synchronization patents on the grounds that the patent should have
never been granted in the first place. this means apple will allege five cases of
patent infringement when both
firms go into court on march 31st while samsung will bring in four.
