After an initial rejection and an appeal by Apple, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh has reversed her decision and allowed the second of two cases filed by Apple against Samsung to proceed.
Apple won the first case it filed against Samsung last year over recent technology, according to an article on the CNet website.
Judge Koh originally reduced the claims Apple had against Samsung, drastically lowering its compensation. The verdict was eventually handed over to Apple along with a $1 billion arrangement.
Apple filed a second case against Samsung after the first victory. The case was over Apple's Siri technology and then the voice technology that Samsung used in its phones.
Apple alleged that Samsung had violated the patents that Apple had acquired for its Siri voice search technology in its formation of its own voice search technology.
Originally, Judge Koh rejected the patent case, believing that there was really no reason for the second case. In the CNet article, she stated that fact in belief that the first of the two cases would resolve the entire problem.
Apple did not agree, appealing the decision. The company filed an appeal on the decision and pursued the patent case against Samsung.
Recently, though, Koh has agreed to allow the case to go forward on a suspended condition. She has required as well that the case be reduced in size, as it was originally a very large case. The case could go on for over another year before it is to be resolved.
