Samsung lost a bid to secure a sales ban for some Apple devices in its home country of South Korea, after a court rejected a lawsuit claiming the iPhone maker infringed three if its patents, according to Financial Times.

A judge in the Seoul Central District Court found the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad2 did not violate patents related to mobile messaging features.

A sales ban on the products was therefore rejected, along with Samsung’s request for KRW100 million ($95,100) in damages. The loss of the case will be particularly galling for Samsung, having taken place in its home country.

Samsung said it would thoroughly review the ruling before deciding to appeal. “As Apple has continued to infringe our patented mobile technologies, we will continue to take the measures necessary to protect our intellectual property rights,” the company said in a statement.

An Apple Korea representative said the company is glad the Seoul court “joined others around the world in standing up for real innovation and rejecting Samsung’s ridiculous claims”.

The same court ruled in August 2012 that Apple should pay Samsung KRW40 million in damages for infringing two of the South Korean’s company’s wireless technology patents. As part of the same ruling Samsung was fined KRW25 million related to the bounce-back functionality for scrolling documents.

The decision is the latest in a number of legal battles between the world’s two leading smartphone makers, starting in 2011 when Apple accused Samsung of copying the look and feel of its iPhone and iPad.

A landmark decision was reached in California in August 2012 in which Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages for infringing design patents for the look of its iPhone and copying the bounce-back response and tap-to-zoom feature in iOS.

Judge Lucy Koh subsequently ruled that the calculations for the original damages contained some errors and reduced the award by $450.5 million. This portion of damages was recently reinstated to the tune of $290 million.
