They did the "smell" test. On the 2nd claim it's a split decision. Yes on some, no on some others.

Yes on all but 2

Well, there you have it... the consumer is ****ed.

Enjoy your Apple monopoly.

I hate you, Apple. I really do.

This means Apple products will be cheaper now since their pockets are lined with Samsung's money going bankrupt to pay their infringement fines, right?

Just think of what new technology could be developed with all the money spent on legal fees from both sides...

Although I want Apple to win. Every other tech site is saying the verdict hasn't been read out yet.

Proof?

It's 1 patent, calm down. There are many claims to go through, this could take quite a while.

 

[Orange Furball]

WAIT!! how much is Samsung paying?

Why are people so upset about Samsung being held accountable for ripping off somebody else's invention? I guess none of you ever plan on inventing and patenting something.

Hah, at the start of this I sold my 4s and bought a Galaxy Nexus.

I couldn't agree more. As per usual, the lawyers win

No, other companies are more than free to develop original products that don't infringe on other companies' patents.

Apple stocks are going to go up so much on Monday

It's up now after hours but no so much higher than the intraday high. There will probably a pre-market rally then profit taking on Monday morning at best. Also, keep in mind overall market conditions.

Cry moawr. Windows 8 and Palm OS showed there are other ways to make an OS and a Phone. See Nokia Lumia.

What is SEC/STA?

SEA - Samsung Electronics America
STA - Samsung Telecommunications America
SEC - Samsung Electronics Company

Don't they still have to announce whether the patents are invalid? I mean it seems likely that they're going find that apple"s patents are legitimate, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

 

[joelisfar]

The moment we've all been waiting for?

 

[word385]

Are they really going to read 700 outcomes?

Is there a readily availale list somewhere of the patents. For example what does '381 correspond to?

 

[retinarob]

Apple reinvents the phone, samsung copies it and everyone is mad at Apple for suing? Maybe samsung should try to reinvent the smartphone in some actual way.
