Samsung was found not to have infringed on an Apple patent by a Tokyo court.

The suit was filed by Apple in the August of last year, with the court case ruled on a patent relating to smartphone and tablet synching. Samsung said “We will continue to offer highly innovative products to consumers, and continue our contributions towards the mobile industry's development".

Apple is continuing to pursue other lawsuits in the country where legal pay-outs are typically low in comparison to USA rulings.
