A Japanese court Friday rejected Apple’s claim that Samsung stole its technology, dealing a blow to the iPhone maker after last week winning $1.05 billion in damages in the US from its bitter rival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ruling by the Tokyo District Court is the latest chapter in a long-running global patent war between the smartphone giants who have accused each other of stealing intellectual property for their own products.<\/p>\n

The Japanese court found that Samsung did not infringe on Apple’s iPhone and iPad patents for some of its own Galaxy smartphones and tablet computer.<\/strong> The three-judge panel also awarded legal costs to Samsung.<\/p>\n

Apple had sought damages and the block of sales of its some of Samsung’s products in the lucrative Japanese market.<\/p>\n

But as well as dealing a blow to the US firm, the ruling will help Samsung pick itself up after the defeat in the United States, analysts said.<\/p>\n

Samsung shares closed 1.48 percent higher in Seoul on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samsung, which has steadfastly denied its rival’s claims in a string of similar cases filed across the globe, hailed the Tokyo court’s ruling.<\/p>\n

A Japan-based spokesman for Apple, which can appeal the verdict, declined to comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week the iPhone maker won $1.05 billion in a massive US court victory over Samsung with jurors finding that the South Korean firm had “willfully” infringed on Apple’s patents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Japanese case, which focused on Apple’s claim that Samsung stole technology used to transfer music and video files, sought a comparatively small amount — 100 million yen ($1.27 million) — in damages.<\/p>\n

Both firms’ gadgets are increasingly popular in the the Japanese market<\/strong> which was previously monopolized by domestic giants such as Sony and Sharp.<\/p>\n

The high-profile verdict in the United States last week regarded patents on a range of Samsung products including some of its popular smartphones and its Galaxy 10 tablet.<\/p>\n

Jurors rejected the South Korean electronics firm’s patent theft counterclaims against Apple.<\/p>\n

Also last week, a court in Seoul ruled the pair had swiped each other’s technology and awarded damages to both sides.<\/strong><\/p>\n
