Apple sued Samsung there in September of last year, however the Tokyo District Court has ruled Samsung did not violate a patent that covered syncing music and video data with a PC. According to The Yomiuri Shinbun, presiding judge Tamotsu Shoji dismissed the claim, saying Samsung's implementation of this specific technology was not covered by the scope of Apple's patent. Just as is the case in US District Court in California, this decision doesn't mean the seemingly never-ending battle is over however, as we're hearing there are other cases ongoing, and this decision may be appealed to a higher court.
