Apple is celebrating its patent lawsuit win today and said the verdict sends a clear message that "stealing isn't right."
Samsung may have to pay more than $1 billion in damages, after a jury found the South Korean company infringed on Apple's patents for multiple devices. And Apple is saying justice has been served.
The Cupertino company issued a statement, saying the suit wasn't about the money or the patents, it was about values:
"We are grateful to the jury for their service and for … Read more
Complete coverage: Apple v. Samsung, a battle over billions
Samsung is probably still reeling over a jury's decision to award Apple more than $1 billion in damages over infringed patents, but it says the real loser today is the public.
The South Korean company said in a statement that the verdict means less innovation from manufacturers -- something that should make consumers fearful:
"Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate … Read more
That's right, put another one in the win column for the Cupertino crusher -- the details are unrolling right now on CNET's Live Blog, but it looks as though the jury has found that Samsung infringed on some of Apple's patents and diluted the iPhone's trade dress, for starters.
Translation: Apple has won on almost all patent claims read so far, and the Korean company is being ordered to pay up billions in damages.… Read more
commentary With the trial between Apple and Samsung inching toward a resolution, it's a good time to break out the crystal ball and look at the potential ramifications of the case.
Every indication suggests that the verdict won't be a clean one. There will likely be damages on both sides, and it's still unclear whether there will be clear victor. In addition, the option to appeal could drag this case on for several more years. A separate appeals case between the two regarding software elements of Android and a potential ban on the Galaxy Nexus is set to start in 2014. … Read more
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- After sitting through more than three weeks of complicated and quite often technical testimony, the nine individuals in the celebrated patent infringement dispute pitting Apple against Samsung, now have to pick a victor.
Jurors began deliberating on Wednesday, but barring a surprise, may take some time to reach a decision.
Legal experts caution that unless you're actually in the room watching the process unfold, this is the messiest part of any trial -- almost comparable to trying to get a group of friends to decide on pizza toppings -- and thus and hardest to handicap. … Read more
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- While Apple has painted Samsung as a copycat, Samsung fired back today, saying that if Apple wins its case, consumers would lose.
"Your decision, if you go Apple's way, could change the way competition works in this country," Samsung attorney Charles Verhoeven told jurors after pointing to the large collection of press in the back of the courtroom who were there to see closing arguments from both sides in the Apple v. Samsung patent trial.
"Rather than competing in the marketplace, Apple is seeking a competitive edge in the courtroom," he … Read more
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Apple highlighted its broad collection of Samsung internal documents, and not the millions of dollars spent on witnesses, as reasons the jury should take its side in the patent case it filed against Samsung.
Apple attorney Harold McElhinny delivered the company's closing arguments in the form of a greatest hits from the evidence and testimony delivered during the company's trial with Samsung. However, he put the focus on the paperwork Apple obtained ahead of the trial.
"Witnesses can be mistaken. They can be mistaken in good faith," McElhinny said. "Exhibits that … Read more
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Facing disclosure to a jury that both Apple and Samsung failed to uphold document retention laws, the two companies struck a deal to keep the matter private.
The offer came during a public hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh earlier today as both sides hashed out last-minute jury instructions and the particulars of a verdict form.
After Koh told Apple that she would be siding with Samsung over a retaliatory filing that would require her to tell jurors that both companies failed to retain e-mails (and other documents that might be critical to … Read more
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Apple and Samsung brought out high-paid experts to figure out what each company owed the other in damages, but how will a jury of average Americans do when they get to make that decision?
That's on the mind of U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh, who expressed concern about the outcome while both companies hash out some last-minute arguments today.
"I am worried we might have a seriously confused jury here," Koh told legal counsel from both companies. "I have trouble understanding this, and I have spent a little more time … Read more
