Apple wins patent case against Samsung in Japan

A Tokyo court has ruled that Samsung
infringed on Apple's patent covering a
"bounce-back" feature used on the latter's
smartphones and tablets.
Reuters reported Friday that Apple had alleged
Samsung copied its "bounce-back" function, in
which icons on smartphones and tablets quiver
back when users scroll to the end of an
electronic document. Samsung has already
changed its interface on recent models to show
a blue line at the end of documents, the report
noted.
The court's decision comes after the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office in April said
Apple's patent for the "bounce-back" feature
was invalid, allowing older Samsung models
with a similar feature to remain on sale.
