Apple loses Samsung patent infringement lawsuit in Japan

Tokyo district judge finds Samsung did not infringe on Apple patents related to synchronizing music and video data in devices to servers.
The ruling comes a week after a Seoul court issued a split decision that found both Apple and Samsung violated each other's patents and prohibited the companies from selling the infringing devices in South Korea. The three-judge panel in the Seoul Central District Court rejected the notion of "consumer confusion" and awarded both companies fairly insignificant damages.
