Unless you've been living under a rock, you know by now that
Apple scored a major legal victory over Samsung on Friday, when a jury in San Jose, California said the Korean company infringed several Apple patents.
The jury also awarded $1.049 billion in damages to the US-based tech giant. Analysts say the damages could be tripled because jurors found Samsung "willfully" infringed on patents.
The next date in the seemingly endless legal battle falls on September 20, when Apple is expected to ask the court to bar US sales of Samsung devices that the jury found infringe Apple's patents. Samsung has already indicated it plans to appeal against Friday's decision, and will also likely contest any efforts to ban sales of its devices.
Apple claimed Samsung infringed on three of its feature-related patents and four design patents. The jury found Samsung infringed all three feature-related patents, but only two of the design patents, ruling in Samsung's favour on the other two.
Apple filed the case in a US district court in San Jose, California against three Samsung entities: Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., New York-based Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC, a Delaware-based limited liability company. The three companies filed their counter-claim against Apple.
