Samsung Electronics Co. won a court order dismissing some counterclaims by Apple Inc. in a lawsuit over alleged patent infringement of Apple’s smartphones and tablet computers.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, yesterday denied most of Samsung’s requests to dismiss Apple’s counterclaims. She dismissed Apple’s so-called promissory estoppel counterclaim on the grounds that issue is governed by French law, which doesn’t allow such a claim.
