\"\"<\/a>Ouch.\u00a0 Samsung has to pay $1B+ to Apple in fines for violation of patents.\u00a0 However, Apple did not win everything.\u00a0 Jury voted No on on the Apple’s claim\u00a0 that Samsung has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by monopolizing one or more technology markets related to the UMTS standard.<\/p>\n

Another win for Samsung: in the D\u2019889 patent, which covers the look of the iPad\u2019s design, including the edge-to-edge glass, thin bezel, and rounded corners. In this case, the jury found that the Galaxy Tab did not infringe Apple\u2019s patents.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s counter suite, that Apple infringed on ITS patents came up empty and was thus awarded no damages.<\/p>\n

But to quote Brian Solis<\/a>; Somebody just leaned over to the disappointed Samsung attorneys and asked, “How do you like them apples?”<\/p>\n

Keep in mind this is not the end of the story.\u00a0 If Samsung is blocked from selling its products, that will be far more costly then just $1B.\u00a0 I am looking for Apple to push for just that.\u00a0 Hopefully Samsung, now knowing where the edges are, will design a new line of phones around the patent and call that innovation.<\/p>\n

More details as they come.<\/p>\n
