SEOUL, South Korea: A Seoul court has denied Samsung's claim that Apple violated three of its patent related to short message services.
A judge at Seoul Central District Court said Thursday that two of Samsung patents lacked ``progressivity'' and can be easily developed by others. He said one patent was not used in the iPad.
Samsung Electronics Co. sued Apple in March 2012 accusing the iPhone maker of illegally using its three patented technologies. It sought compensation and a ban on sales of six iPhone and iPad models.
The ruling is the latest legal blow to Samsung, which owes Apple $930 million from two jury verdicts in Silicon Valley. Samsung is seeking to appeal both.
The world's top two smartphone makers have waged legal battles over mobile devices since 2011.
