A preliminary ruling by an International Trade Commission judge has found Apple not guilty of violating Samsung-owned patents in the production of their iOS lineup. Samsung claimed that the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch infringed upon four patents covering such technologies as 3G integration, the transmission of data packets, and the integration of web surfing into a mobile device. The complaint was filed last year and sought the ban of the offending devices in the United States.
The initial ruling is not the end of the road for Samsung, however. The full commission will meet in January to decide if the judge’s preliminary verdict will stand. Concurrently, Apple has a claim in with the ITC seeking to punish Samsung for violating several patents, mirroring a case the company recently won in California.

ITC Judge: Herp derp…I don’t understand all this 3G mumbo jumbo and transmission of data packets talk. Your rectangular phone with rounded corners does look like Apple’s though! I hereby award Apple $1B through judgement.
This is just a preliminary ruling, no money involved.
Alright, who’s paying of the jury in all these apple cases… Getting sick of apple being not guilty after Samsung lost that load of crap case.
Apple will never be convicted of a violations in the US.The Judges are to corrupt with Apple BiaS
Money talks bullshit talks
if you know anything about ITC preliminary rulings..it wont be overturned by the panel. Android loses alot because its guilty…simple as that.
What a “smart” comment
Now please could you explain me how Samsung’s 3G patents are related to Google’s Android?
In the magical land of troll, there is no such thing as common sense, or thoughts for that matter. The Troll satiates its appetite for acceptance within the troll community by creating evermore outlandish or idiotic statements.
As the troll population has recently had a growth explosion, we kindly request you don’t feed the trolls.
This has been a public service announcement from Mothers Against Apple Trolls.
Yet another jury bribed by the rotten fruit
GS3 is better than iPhone 5. That alone is worth 6 Trillion dollars.
Yeah specially the cheap plastic from which it’s made and that awesome Pen-tile screen O.o lol so much better
Plastic = Lighter, Cheaper, More durable.
I’ve had alot of phones with a metal casing, unibody or not. I am very careless with my phones and those with the metal casing is way worse compared to quality plastic. They dont flex and buckle with permanent damge very easy. And they screen cracks easier when the body dont absorb the shocks as good as platic.
I take plastic over metal and i hope Samsung is smart enough to stay with it or something else then metal.
Amoled = Thinner, Lighter, Less power, Better picture.
An amoled screen have so much better colors and black that i can live with the pentile in that pixeldensity, you can barely notice it (if your not a moron with the phone inches from the screen.
In further news, Apple sues the Roman Empire for infringing on their design patents:
“…the military base was made up of a rectangular earthwork enclosure with rounded corners…”

Only because the USA economy is sh*t and they require Apple to boost the GDP. Politics out-weighs all.
Miceal… Your comment doesn’t make any sense. The suit has nothing to do with android. It’s about technology Samsung owns patents on and uses in all of their mobile phones.
I’m wondering if Steve Jobs comes the these judges threatening to haunt them for eternity if the rules aren’t in Apple’s favor
I agree with Modman Crapple is either paying them or I think they have crapple products so that’s all they know.
Is it the same jury than the one last month that granted $1 billion to Apple? Look like it’s a good business to be juror now.
Apple won again! Nice!
If only I was a juror in these cases… Every other one would feel like and idiot and ashamed of their iproducts when the dust settled.
By the looks of IPh 5 , Apple already is showing major chinks in its armor. Not really all that impressive. And that’s it’s flagship for another year or 2. Every minute that goes by, they get weaker and more irrelevant.
So irrelevant that they sold out of their preorders in an hour…
Take your whack iPhony and step Troll!
Sold out of their release day supply, not preorders, as they continue to sell what they don’t have.

And what exactly do you think Sa,sung have to offer in terms of the next innovation. Can the screen get any bigger or the cheap plastic any lighter or perhaps they can add 4 more cores that the OS can’t even support.
The people at apple are jerks. All they know is sue, sue sue. A bunch of greedy people. If something don’t go there way they just deside to sue everyone to get a victory.
Sue sue sue, copy copy copy…..I still don’t which one is worse
I know right? I mean how can you quantify which part of Apple’s practice is worse? To sue everyone then continue to copy everyone, or to just blatantly copy everyone then sue about those copied items.
Yeah that’s right, Apple copies just as much as every other company, if not more. Difference is, you drank the coolaid and believe they created the rectangle.
Preorders sold out so fast because of the added row of icons. LOL. Then they’ll wait for it to be jail broken so it will become an android.
Is this over LTE?
