A jury found Samsung guilty of infringing Apple patents
Tonight, Moscow time, a US jury almost on all counts found South Korean company Samsung guilty of infringing Apple patents. The announcement of the decision was unexpected, so some company lawyers came to the courtroom in T-shirts and jeans, because today no one expected a decision. Before the meeting, everyone agreed that this speed could indicate the complete satisfaction of Apple claims, or the refusal of satisfaction.
Key solution positions :
Violated patents :
IPad patent is not infringed .
The jury estimated the damage at $ 1 billion 50 million .
A jury ruled that none of the patents on which Koreans accused Apple was violated. All Apple smartphones and tablets are exempt from charges. Apple did not damage Samsung either by its actions or by its devices, so Apple is not obliged to pay any compensation.
Despite the convincing victory of Apple, Samsung was completely avoided. Let me remind you that Apple insisted on compensation of $ 2.5 billion and the recognition of all violations intentional.
It is also known that the ban on the import of products will not be imposed. Apple will have to negotiate deductions. However, this is a heavy blow for the South Korean company. Lawyers could not find in the intellectual property bins any patent that would violate Apple.
