| Subject: Apple Samsung patent trial: Jury reaches verdict Fri Aug 24, 2012 7:12 pm | |
| A jury has ruled that Samsung should pay Apple just over $1bn (£665m) in damages in an intellectual property lawsuit in the US.
It said that several of Samsung's devices had infringed Apple's software and design patents.
The jury has not yet discussed whether it thinks Apple infringed some of Samsung's intellectual properties.
The iPhone maker had claimed a total of $2.5bn (£1.6bn) in damages. Samsung had sought $519m.
The nine-person jury at the federal court in San Jose, California had to consider 700 questions about each sides' claim that its rival had infringed its intellectual property.
It rejected the South Korean firm's claim that Apple's intellectual properties were invalid.
