Disaster for Samsung: Jury awards Apple $1.05 billion in patent case

#SuryaRay #Surya The jury in the “tech trial of the century” has ruled that Samsung has infringed on a number of Apple’ core patents, including one for “bounce back” technology. Worse for Samsung, the jury has also found that the infringement was intentional which likely led it to issue a $1.05 billion verdict against the Galaxy tablet alone. The jury also ordered Samsung to pay a series of additional damages for infringing other products and patents. Apple’s case is based on claims that Samsung “slavishly copied” its popular iPhone and iPad. The jury also found that the patents are not invalid — which would have protected Samsung. The news for Samsung went from bad to worse as the jury found that Apple did not owe any damages related to its alleged infringement of Samsung’s patents. The news came down after the jury unexpectedly announced that it had reached a verdict in the complicated intellectual property case. More soon. --- http://dlvr.it/238GTs @suryaray

A tale of two numbers: Apple won a major battle today in Steve Jobs' "thermonuclear war" against Android, which he (and Apple) considered a "stolen product." The verdict, coincidentally, came exactly one year after Tim Cook became CEO of Apple.

Samsung must now pay over $1 billion in damages after a jury decided it was infringing on a number of Apple's patents. On the other hand, the jury found that Apple did not infringe on any of Samsung's patents, and awarded exactly $0 to Samsung.

Yet the $1 billion figure is almost irrelevant, even though it is the largest patent verdict in history. Samsung makes several billion dollars in profit each quarter, and Apple, the most valuable company in the world, surely does not need the money. Indeed, Steve Jobs said that he was willing to "spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong."

No, for Apple, this is about values, and its motivation rings clear in its statement:

At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung’s behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right.
