Despite Apple U.S. Ban Call, Samsung Shares Advance At Home
Shares of Samsung Electronics (Seoul: 005930) rose 15,000 Korean won (US $13.21) in Seoul trading on Tuesday, despite requests by Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), the world's most valuable technology company, to ban sales of as eight products in the U.S.
Samsung shares closed at 1,195 million won, reversing their 7.5 percent slump on Monday, the first trading day after a jury in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif., found that it had infringed upon various Apple patents and was ordered to pay at least $1.05 billion.
