A US federal jury in California determined this Friday that Samsung Electronics infringed six Apple Inc.'s patents for mobile devices and that Apple did not infringe any of the five patents on which Samsung had countersued.
According to this verdict the losing company will have to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages.
Judge Lucy Koh, who presided over the four-week trial, scheduled a hearing next month to consider Apple's request to ban US sales of Samsung devices in which the patents are being infringed.
