Samsung manages to turn the tide against Apple in court and will receive money instead of paying

Yes, in mid-2014, almost two years ago Samsung lost a legal dispute to the Apple and was sentenced to pay you $ 119.6 million.

At the time, the South Korean was accused of infringing five patents, but Ma was able to prove the infraction of “only” three: the 5,946,647 (system and method to execute the action in a structure in data generated by computers resource responsible for make iOS understand the subjects stored on the device, presenting quick links for access through its search), 8.046.721 (unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image) and 8.074.172 (method, system and interface user graph to provide text recommendations).

Today, according to Reuters, the Court of Appeals overturned that verdict in a unanimous decision (the three judges agreed), claiming that Samsung did not infringe patent 5,946,647 and that the other two inventions are invalid.

To complete and completely turn the game around, the Court also said that Apple infringed one of Samsung's patents (related to video compression) because of that, the Cupertino company would have to pay $ 158,400 South Korean, as informed by Bloomberg. The amount is infinitely less, but it is still something to pay.
