Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know by now that Apple scored a major legal victory over Samsung on Friday, when a jury in San Jose, California said the Korean company infringed several Apple patents.
The jury also awarded $1.049 billion in damages to the US-based tech giant. Analysts say the damages could be tripled because jurors found Samsung “willfully” infringed on patents.
The next date in the seemingly endless legal battle falls on September 20, when Apple is expected to ask the court to bar US sales of Samsung devices that the jury found infringe Apple’s patents.
Apple claimed Samsung infringed on three of its feature-related patents and four design patents. The jury found Samsung infringed all three feature-related patents, but only two of the design patents, ruling in Samsung’s favour on the other two.
Here’s a patent by patent, device by device breakdown of the jury’s verdict.
