Apple v. Samsung damages breakdown revealed in jury verdict form

Source: U.S. Courts

Last updated

The U.S. District Court for Northern California late Friday made public the Apple v. Samsung jury's verdict form, revealing exact damages figures assigned to each device found in infringement of parties' patents.

After the Apple v. Samsung jury handed in its decision earlier today, awarding Apple $119.6 million and Samsung $158,000, the final verdict form has been made available for public viewing. The document offers further insight into the jury's thinking.

In its verdict, the jury found Samsung guilty of infringing on two Apple patents, the '647 patent for data detectors and the '721 patent for "slide-to-unlock." A third property, Apple's '172 patent for text input prediction/spell checking, was already ruled infringed by presiding Judge Lucy Koh. For that patent, the jury found willful infringement on Samsung's part, possibly opening the door to additional damages.

Apple's final damages tally may be a bit higher as the company found a discrepancy in the jury's verdict. Specifically, the Galaxy S II was found to be in infringement of the text prediction property, but no damages were assigned. Jurors are scheduled to meet on Monday to resolve the issue.

As seen below, a large chunk of Apple's award came from Samsung's Galaxy S III, which cost the company $52.4 million on infringement of the '647 patent alone. The Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch — Sprint's version of the smartphone — generated $14.2 million on infringement of the '647 and '172 patents, while all accused Galaxy S II models amounted to a collective $31.1 million.

For Samsung, the jury found Apple's iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch devices in infringement of one patent. Damages for most models sat in the $20,000 range, with the iPhone 5 and fourth-gen iPod touch accounting for a respective $41,514 and $40,597 of Samsung's $158,400 award.

What an ugly fucking form. Using a row of parenthesis as a divider? Really? Was this done using a typewriter from the 1950s? I feel bad for Jurors having to fill out this confusing piece of shit form.

Now that the results of the second patent trial in California are in I, for one, am glad to see (judging from the pitiful amount that Apple has been awarded) that the judge and jurors did not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by that uninnovative company that brought the GUI, the mouse, the modern personal computer (along with colour and style), the iPod, the iTunes Store, Apple Retail Stores, the online App Store, the iPhone, the MacBook Air, the iPad, the Mac Pro, and the world's most insecure and unreliable operating system, to the masses.

 

After finally having proven, not only their innocence, but that Korea, in general, is able to draw from a well of innovation that is incredibly deep, I can only assume that both Samsung Executive Management and their legal team will be taking some sorely deserved time off at the Lotte World Amusement Park in Seoul.

 

Good on you guys!

 

Keep up the hard work!

@GTR Nice try, we see what you did there, you tried to twist the truth into your favor just like that thieving, stealing, lying company Samsung. That 3 juries in who have awarded Apple millions from the master copycat Samsung. Hopefully they agree that it was willful like in the previous case and increase the damages. Maybe Samsung will get the hint you can't get away with robbing IP.
