Samsung faced a major blow in its attempts to counter Apple on Friday after a Dutch court claims against Apple over 3G devices. A judge in The Hague dismissed its claims that the iPhone and 3G iPads violated Samsung's patents for 3G wireless on the grounds that they were standards-based and couldn't be used for lawsuits. The court also tossed calls for a preliminary ban and the Apple counterclaims that had been attached to the case.
