Apple Inc. lost a Dutch court ruling in a patent lawsuit over Samsung Electronics Co.’s Galaxy handsets.
Samsung’s Galaxy products using certain versions of Google Inc.’s Android operating system don’t infringe Apple patents concerning so-called multi-touch flags, Judge Peter Blok said in a ruling today in The Hague, Netherlands.
