"Samsung is guilty of infringing the &amp;#039;bounce-back&amp;#039; feature found on Apple tablets and handsets, a Japanese court has ruled. The patent in question relates to the way icons snap back into place when the user scrolls beyond the edge of an electronic document.   Apple previously attempted to ban Samsung devices that use this feature from sale in the US, but the American Patent and Trademark Office declared that the company&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;bounce-back&amp;#039; patent was invalid. The Korean firm has altered some of its more recent devices to mark the end of documents with a blue line, differentiating them from Apple products, Reuters reports. This is not the first time the two tech giants have tussled in Japan, with the Tokyo District Court rejecting Apple&amp;#039;s claims that Samsung stole its patent for syncing a smartphone&amp;#039;s music data with a computer last August. Samsung was equally unsuccessful in convincing the court that Apple violated its patent for WiFi data transmission. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
