Apple wins $1 bn patent case against Samsung

In a verdict which will impact Samsung’s sale negatively, US phone and computer giant Apple has won more than $1 billion against South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung. The biggest patent fight in decades has gone in the favour of Apple when a US court rejected Samsung's counterclaims against Apple on Friday.
It was claimed that Apple’s iPhone and iPad have been illegally copied by Samsung in the form of its Galaxy phones and notepads. The jury at San Jose in California ruled Samsung had infringed on a number of patents. The verdict will affect patents on several Samsung products such as its popular products Galaxy smartphones and its Galaxy 10 tablet.
However, Samsung won a similar dispute between the two companies in Seoul. A Seoul court has said that Samsung did not infringed on Apple but vice-versa.
