Watched the verdict come out on a live link, it made for a nice pop in AAPL's after hours trading!

Samsung not only lost, they lost face, more important to them than the dollars... Sets a good precedent as well... The Judge had tried to get the parties to settle, but it went to the Jury... Apple was right in most of it's arguments.

Apple Patent Victory Could Have Broad Implications for Mobile Industry

In a big legal victory for Apple that could have broad implications for the
mobile business, a jury awarded the company more than $1 billion in damages
Friday after finding that Samsung infringed on a series of Apple patents on
smartphones and tablet computers.

The verdict could have a major impact on Android, the Google operating system
used by Samsung and many other companies in their devices. Apple’s suit against
Samsung, the world’s largest maker of smartphones, has partly been viewed as a
proxy war against Google, which Apple executives have derided as a copycat.

A nine-person jury sided with Apple on most of its allegations, including patent
claims involving the “bounce back” effect when a user scrolls to the end of a
list, the pinch-to-zoom gesture that users make when they want to magnify an
image, and the physical design of the iPhone.

The jury added some sting by finding in favor of Apple across the board in a
countersuit by Samsung.
