The South Korean electronics giant had sought an injunction that would prevent the manufacture and sale of some of Apple's smartphones in a dispute over patent rights. In response to Samsung's claim made in 2011, Apple filed a lawsuit seeking a court ruling that Samsung does not hold patent rights and thus has no claim to damages over the issue.

FOSS Patents also has a report on this with an interesting claim that the Japanese ruling in Apple's favor is Samsung's 22nd failed assertion of a standard-essential patent. Samsung's aggressive nature is really over the top and it's aggression for the sake of aggression.
