A court in Seoul has ruled that Apple and Samsung infringed each other's patents on mobile devices. As a result, the court has ordered a partial ban on the sales of their products in South Korea. The court ruling comes as the two firms are locked in a bitter patent battle that could determine their fight for supremacy in the global smart phone market. The court found that Apple breached two of Samsung's technology patents, ordering it to pay around 33 million dollars. It also ordered Samsung to pay around 20 million dollars for violating one of Apple's patents.
