COKid Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 A California jury found that Samsung used Apple designs in 13 older products A Silicon Valley jury has ruled that Samsung must pay $290m (?180m) to Apple for copying iPhone and iPad features in its devices. This verdict comes after a previous jury found Samsung owed Apple $1.05bn for copyright infringement. However, US District Judge Lucy Koh ordered a new trial because she said that jury miscalculated the amount Samsung owed. Samsung is expected to appeal. The jury's ruling covers 13 of the 26 Samsung devices that Apple had argued copied its technology. The $290m figure comes on top of the $550m Samsung owes Apple as a result of the initial verdict. Apple shares traded slightly higher on the news. Samsung closed down slightly earlier in the day.

2xSilverKnight Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Ask the jury. Really ? :rolleyes: We already know that the patent regulations are a joke, specially software patents, and rounded corner devices :rofl: Steve Jobs already said in the past what he thinks about copying. If you improve on it, then it's for the best. Everything is going to look the same at one point or the other. They are freaking smartphones and tablets for gods sakes.

techbeck Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I know Huawei makes some phones that look like the iPhone as well as others. Only reason Samsung got sued is because they are the only making a lot of money off of Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2xSilverKnight Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 People didn't like the design of the Galaxy S3 in the beginning, well it was designed by lawyers. That's why the S4 is almost the same. Because of Apple. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) snipped If anyone things this was just about patents is being fooled. It has more to do with Apple/Jobs not liking Android and suing them out of existence. Do a search for the many other products that copied Apple's design...and I willing to bet if they were making as much as Samsung, they would get sued as well.

Maybe so, but it still doesn't negate the fact that Samsung stole Apple's property. The main point is absolutely about patents and Samsung infringing on them.
