Apple wins appeal over smartphone patents

Samsung could be forced to stop selling some phones after Apple won an appeal in a US court.

The decision comes after a lawsuit first filed in 2012 in which Apple claimed Samsung was using some of its technology without proper permission.

That case was decided in May 2014 when Apple was awarded $120m (£76m) damages.

Apple appealed, saying Samsung should stop selling phones using the disputed features. Judges disagreed but this latest ruling overturns that decision.
