Todays the big day where at least all of this foolishness will hopefully come to an end. There will be plenty of future litigations to take the place of this verdict but at least there is some closure in the Apple vs. Samsung patent dispute. The jury is done deliberating and they have deiced in a 20 page document that Samsung did indeed infringe on some of Apple’s patents. We’ll update the thread once the final ban list is out. There could be damages issued against both sides.
UPDATE: CNET has the full breakdown and here it is
* Jury finds Samsung infringement of Apple utility, design patents for some (though not all) products
* Jury upholds Apple utility, design patents
* Jury upholds Apple trade dress ’983
* Jury finds Samsung “diluted” Apple’s registered iPhone, iPhone 3 and “Combination iPhone” trade dress on some products, not on others
* No Apple infringement of Samsung utility patents
* Jury found Samsung violated antitrust law by monopolizing markets related to the UMTS standard
Damages owed by Samsung:
* * $1.05 billion in TOTAL damages
