New Battle Brewing Between Samsung and Apple

Samsung and Apple AAPL -2.13%have been battling it out in courtrooms across the globe over patents. Now a new battle seems to be brewing.

A company spokesman said details such as when it would air haven’t been finalized, but the plan is to expand the commercial to other markets in the Asia-Pacific region at a later stage. http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2012/10/08/new-battle-brewing-between-samsung-and-apple/?mod=yahoo_hs
