Just in! Apple wins over Samsung in the big patent suit

This just in. Apple has won the civil trial against Samsung. Full details hereat Macworld.

Apple didn’t get all the money they asked for, though. They only got $1.05 billion in damages. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Samsung will write Apple a check for $1.05 billion.

Does this mean that Samsung phones will leave the market? No, most of the products mentioned in the case aren’t sold any more. Samsung has made changes to its phones to steer clear of suits like this. Read analysis at Macworld.

I’m sure Samsung and Apple will continue to do business. They may not invite each other over for dinner, but Samsung will provide parts for Apple’s devices.
