The long-running dispute between Apple and Samsung continues, with an appeals court today handing the Cuperti**-based company a defeat by invalidating two Apple patents and ruling a third had **t been infringed by Samsung (via Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-26/apple-loses-appeal-in-119-6-million-samsung-patent-case)). The ruling, which covers Apple patents related to slide-to-unlock, autocorrect, and interactive phone number features, also threw out the original $119.6 million (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/06/samsung-apple-appeal/) in damages Apple had been awarded in the case.

In addition, Apple's guilty verdict from nearly two years ago has been upheld: the company still has to pay $158,400 (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/02/jury-rules-in-apples-favor/) for violating Samsung's patent describing an "apparatus for recording and reproducing digital image and speech." Regarding the three operating system features Apple attempted to validate, the court ruled that Apple's claim for Samsung's patent infringement was "invalid."In this case, Apple claimed that Samsung infringed patents for the slide-to-unlock feature, autocorrect and a way to detect phone numbers that can then be touched to make phone calls. The autocorrect patent is invalid and the detection patent wasn?t infringed, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in an opinion posted on its electronic docket. The court upheld the jury?s verdict that two other Apple patents, for universal search and background syncing, weren?t infringed. In a separate court battle over patent infringements, last December Samsung decided to submit an appeal (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/14/apple-samsung-us-supreme-court-appeal/) to the Supreme Court in one final effort to avoid paying $548 million to Apple (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/04/samsung-to-pay-apple-548-million/). Just this month, Apple attempted to convince (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/04/apple-samsung-supreme-court-appeal/) the Supreme Court to deny Samsung's appeal in the five-year-old case, claiming that the South Korean company was simply attempting to prolong the case even further following the an**uncement of the settlement.
