Jury decides in Apple's favor, Samsung hit with $1B damages
Samsung must pay Apple US$1.05 billion for infringing several of its patents in Samsung smartphones and tablets, a California District Court jury decided on Friday.
The verdict ending a landmark trial between the two companies is a complex one, involving numerous products and company subsidiaries. But in most instances the jury found products of the Korean company and two of its U.S. subsidiaries infringed Apple's patents.
The verdict can be seen overall as a big win for Apple, although the Cupertino-based maker of the iPhone and iPad was awarded less than half of the $2.75 billion in damages it was seeking.
