Samsapple: jury finds in favour of Apple

The nine-strong jury in the Apple/Samsung patent war delivered a decisive victory to Apple when it found in its favour after days of deliberation.
Samsapple: jury finds in favour of Apple

The jury awarded the Cupertino-based giant US$1.05-billion in damages, "providing ammunition for more legal attacks on its mobile-device rivals," reports the Wall Street Journal.

The case focused around Apple's claim that Samsung "slavishly" copied its mobile products (specifically the iPhone and iPad). Samsung countered with the simple defence that it didn't.

The California jury found that several of Samsung's devices had infringed Apple's software and design patents. But dismissed Samsung's claims that several of its patents had been contravened and awarded it no damages.
