Cita:wired[/url]"]Samsung owes Apple more than $1 billion in damages for violating Apple patents, a California jury ruled on Friday. The court is still going over the 700-plus items in the verdict form. But so far the decisions have been breaking overwhelmingly in AppleÔÇÖs favor,┬á as the jury has found that Samsung infringed upon Apple patents having to do with physical design and user interfaces, and that some of the South Korean companyÔÇÖs products diluted AppleÔÇÖs trade dress.Mini resumen:
In the first decisions, the court ruled that Samsung infringed upon patents relating to a variety of UI-related features, such as scrolling, multi-touch, and the bounce-back feature, which has to do with how a page responds when a user has scrolled all the way to the end. The court found that the violation was willful for many of the accused products and patent claims.
The court did not find that Samsung proved by clear and convincing evidence that AppleÔÇÖs asserted utility and design patents were invalid, and found that many Samsung products violated those patents.
The outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences to the smartphone and tablet industry, ranging from product injunctions, like we just saw happen in South Korea Friday morning, to the need for mobile device makers to overhaul the designs and UIs of their products.
The jury reached a verdict after only three days of deliberations, which came as a surprise. The case has involved around a dozen patents covering everything from device design to the way data is transmitted over a 3G network, so many observers expected the largely non-technically inclined jury to take at least a week to sort through the morass of evidence, arguments, and other information presented over the course of the trial.
