The jury has reached a verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung case ruling that Samsung infringed on two of Apple's patents, awarding Apple $119.6 million in damages, reports Re/code.

The jury found all accused Samsung phones infringed on the first patent at issue, the ’647 quick links patent, but ruled various phones did not infringe on two others. For one other it ruled some Samsung products infringe, while others did not. Four a fifth patent, the judge had ruled that Samsung’s products infringe on the Apple patent and the jury determined that infringement was willful.

Apple had been asking for $2.2 billion in damages. The jury heard more than 50 hours of testimony and took three full days to reach a verdict.

“We are grateful to the jury and the court for their service,” Apple told Re/code. “Today’s ruling reinforces what courts around the world have already found: That Samsung willfully stole our ideas and copied our products. We are fighting to defend the hard work that goes into beloved products like the iPhone, which our employees devote their lives to designing and delivering for our customers.”

The loser here is the consumer.. Unfortunately the copying bit doesn't make a bit of difference but a unreliable price of junk in your hand does.. Every Samsung owner knows what I'm talking about.. Btw what about the Samsung copy of the dyson as well which they got sued for copying.. Is there anything these guy don't copy? If they do much more they are going to be Chinese!!

The judge has sent a pretty clear message to Apple in this case. It likely cost Apple more to fight this case than they won. The message here (and I'm sure they heard it) is we've had enough of this. Let's move on now.

"What about: The Jury ruled that Apple infringed on Samsung's '449 patent related to Apple's FaceTime video chat application." So it was eye for an eye? It happened in the same trial, why doesn't iClarified report this?

During closing arguments in the second Apple vs Samsung patent trial, Samsung’s lawyers repeated its claims that it doesn’t “owe Apple a nickel,” and suggested that “they’ll be dancing in the streets of Cupertino if you give them $100 million” of the $2.2B Apple is claiming. well I guess let the dancing in the streets of Cupertino begin.pwahahahahah and once again the human race wins against samsung

Did you mean, "You prefer pussies that can't design their own applications for they make so much from suckers that loves the niche on their cheaply built phones?"

Great! - May 3, 2014 at 4:55am

@Stelsther, you mean you are siding with Samsung, who IS the bully here, copying other people's designs? Apple is DEFENDING their property. So I take it you are a bully too, the very thing you say you hate.
