A year long dispute between Samsung and Apple in a court in San Jose California has come to an end, as a nine-member jury has decided that Samsung did copy some of the innovative technology used by Apple to create its revolutionary iPhone and iPad.
Samsung is ordered to pay a huge sum of $ 1.05 billion as damages to Apple.
Samsung will walk away empty handed as the seven men and two women jury rejected Samsung's countersuit.
Jurors also decided against some of Apple's claims involving the two dozen Samsung devices at issue, declining to award the full $2.5 billion Apple demanded.
The Samsung devices affected include the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, Nexus S, Mesmerize, Vibrant, Fascinate, Skyrocket, Continuum, Prevail, Infuse, Gem, Mesmerize, Indulge, Replenish, Epic 4G Touch and Droid Charge smartphones and the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1 tablets, among others. It’s not yet known what the fate of the infringing products will be.
