At the end of a lengthy, acrimonious and tedious court case, the South
Korean legal system has delivered a slap across the chops of both Apple and
Samsung and fined them for infringing one another's patents. You'd need a
heart of stone not to laugh. By Martyn Warwick.

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.

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.

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.
