Jurors in a latest courtroom battle between Apple and Samsung have delivered their verdicts siding with Apple deciding Samsung needs to pay Apple 533 million for infringing utility and design patents regarding the iPhone with its own devices another 5.3 million was awarded for two utility patents. The trial is a continuation of the courtroom battles between the two tech giants which first took place in 2012 a time when Apple was awarded one billion in damages.
It was found by the court that Samsung had violated a variety of Apple's patents including those for the bounce-back effect and tap to zoom. A settlement appeared to be reached in 2015 reducing the amount to 548 million while the case continued to go through the appeals process in late 2016. The case reached the US Supreme Court which unanimously ruled in Samsung's favor in December 2017 deciding that design patents only cover individual smartphone components and not the entire mobile device as part of the new trial.
The burden was not on Samsung to disprove the entire smartphone as an article of manufacture but instead with Apple the iPhone producer had to convince the court that the infringe patents apply to the whole product not individual components. The latest trial will started on May 14th and after a difficult jury selection process was spread out across the week in this case the decisions the jurors made determined how much Samsung has to pay Apple as part of the infringement rather than whether the infringement took place at all.
While Apple wants the full 1 billion for the infringement, Samsung had previously advised it was willing to pay just 28 million. The first witness in the trial was Apple Marketing Vice President Greg Joswiak testifying that the design was an important part of the company critical even before the 2007 debut of the iPhone.
Apple attorneys showed the jury photographs of products including Macs iPods power books and mac books to drive the point of design being in the DNA of the company as Apple was betting the company on launching the iPhone. Joswiak noted this cost Apple to file for a vast number of patents to protect his design and other elements after the verdict.
Apple issued this statement saying we believe in the value of design and our teams work tirelessly to create innovative products that delight our customers. This case has always been about more than money, Apple ignited the smartphone revolution with i phone and it's a fact that samsung blatantly copied our design. It is important that we continue to protect the hard work and innovation of so many people at Apple.
So is this the end of the legal battle that's been going on for far too long and based on devices that have long been forgotten most likely not.
