Apple ordered to pay damages to Samsung by Dutch court

Apple has been ordered to pay damages to rival Samsung Electronics by a court in the Netherlands.

The court said that Apple had infringed a patent held by Samsung relating to the way phones and tablet PCs connect to the internet.

The court did not specify any amount, but the damages will be calculated based on sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad in the Netherlands.

The two firms are involved in a legal battle in various countries.

"Samsung welcomes the court's ruling, which reaffirmed Apple's free-riding of our technological innovation," the South Korean manufacturer said in an emailed statement to the BBC.

"In accordance with the ruling, we will seek adequate compensation for the damages Apple and its products have caused."
