</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Grande CY","Helvetica CY"">In recent years the global telecoms industry has been twisted out of shape by a seemingly endless series of legal wrangles over intellectual property and mobile comms patents. It has been unedifying, boring, expensive, largely pointless and has distracted manufacturers and vendors, distorted markets, angered consumers and delayed the introduction of improved and new technologies.<br style="margin:0px;padding:0px">

<br style="margin:0px;padding:0px">Earlier today a panel of three judges sitting in Seoul's Central District Court ruled that Apple infringed two technology patents owned by Samsung and also that Samsung infringed one of Apple's patents.<br style="margin:0px;padding:0px">

<br style="margin:0px;padding:0px">The case centred on allegations by Apple that Korea's Samsung had stolen and copied significant parts of the design of the iPhone - including its shape. The Seoul court decided that had not happened and dismissed Apple's claim. However, the court also imposed a ban on the sale in South Korea of various iterations of various handsets, smartphones and tablet computers made by Apple and by Samsung. These include the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 4, the iPad and 12 different models from Samsung's 'Galaxy" suite of smartphones and tablets.</p>
