Apple wins another legal bout against Samsung in patent row

Apple has won another legal bout against Samsung in its ongoing patent row.

The move comes as Tokyo District Court Judge Koji Hasegawa ruled that Apple's iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPad 2 did not infringe on patents held by Samsung related to data communications.

After the ruling, in a statement, Samsung said it will analyze the decision and possibly appeal it. The company added that it is disappointed with the court's ruling.

According to CNET, Samsung had argued that the devices were violating its intellectual property and it should be compensated in damages for the alleged infringement.

Apple and Samsung are in a bitter patent dispute for the last few years. The two companies have been urged by courts around the world to put an end to their patent disputes.

However, the companies have decided to continue to battle it out in court.
