Netherlands: Dutch court ruled Samsung does not infringe Apple patent.
A Dutch court in Amsterdam has ruled Samsung Electronics does not infringe an Apple Inc patent by using certain multi-touch techniques on some of the Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablet computers.
Apple argued in
September in the Hague court that Samsung infringed its patent on
multi-touch function, which lets users use two fingers at one time on a
touch screen.

Apple lost a
preliminary injunction on this patent in the Dutch courts last year and
also lost its battle in the courts in Britain against HTC Corp, and in
Germany against Samsung and Motorola Mobility, which is owned by Google.

The Dutch court acknowledged that its multi-touch patent ruling was similar to those in Britain and Germany.
Samsung said it welcomed the Dutch court’s decision, while Apple declined to comment on the ruling.
The Hague has
become an important court room battle ground between companies making
mobile phones and tablet computers, as court actions there are
considered to be cheap, speedy and efficient.
