The jury has ordered Samsung to pay $533 million to Apple for copying the iPhone design in a patent case 7 years ago. The jurors also added an additional $5 million as damages for a pair of patented functions.
The decision on the money to be paid was between the $1 million requested by Apple, arguing that the features copied were integral to the iPhone that it can be considered as a article of manufacture and $28 million as suggested by Samsung stating that the features copied can be considered as components.
In the end the jury has ordered Samsung to pay for the copying of the rounded edges of the phone, a bezel and rows of colourful icons and also two utility patents - bounce-back and tap-to-zoom. The final amount is a knockdown of the initial $1 million allowing samsung not pay all the profits attained.
