$1 BILLION VERDICT: SAMSUNG RIPPED OFF APPLE!

Apple won a decisive victory on Friday in a lawsuit against Samsung, a verdict that will give Apple ammunition in a far-flung patent war with its global competitors in the smartphone business.

The nine jurors in the case, who faced the daunting task of answering more than 700 questions on sometimes highly technical matters, returned a verdict after just three days of deliberations at a federal courthouse in San Jose, Calif. They found that Samsung infringed on a series of Apple’s patents on mobile devices, awarding Apple more than $1 billion in damages.  read more at NYTimes

What the Verdict Said

* Samsung violated a series of Apple's patents related to the software and design of mobile devices.
* Apple's patents were valid.
* Apple did not violate any of Samsung's patents.
* Apple was awarded $1 billion in damages.
