A judge in The Hague just issued a ruling in Apple’s patent infringement case against Samsung, prohibiting “the marketing of Samsung smartphones Galaxy S, S II and Ace for violation of Apple Inc. EP 2,058,868.” In an official press release, the court explains that The Hague judge ruled to “ban trading of Samsung smartphones Galaxy S, S II and Ace,” adding that Samsung also violated other Apple patents with its Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 10.1v, though it’s not clear whether or not sales of those devices will be banned as well. The specific patents cited include 2,058,868, which deals with “method of scrolling,” 2,098,948 for “recording a flag in connection with multiple screen taps,” and 1,964,022, which relates to dragging a slider to unlock the phone. It appears that the ban will remain in effect through October 13th, though a final verdict will be published later today.Netherlands judge rules that Samsung Galaxy S, S II violate Apple patents, bans sales originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 24 Aug 2011 09:22:00 EDT.
