Apple Loses Patent Lawsuit Against Samsung in Japan

I figured Apple would win in the US with their patent lawsuits vs. Samsung, and would probably win in South Korean jurisdiction, but now Japan?  Hmmm...Jim Rickards brilliantly forecasted a currency war in the making, and these lawsuits are more evidence of continuing trade wars.  Let's hope we avoid the inimitable military conflicts.
