A U.S. jury on Friday said Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has infringed some of Apple Inc's patents, and that all of those patents are valid.
The verdict in the high-stakes trial between the two tech giants was still being read in a federal courtroom in San Jose, California, and not all of the key legal findings had been announced.

Yeah!!!! Good news indeed (except for Apple haters of course).
it’s good news that you can patent a shape? This is going to SCOTUS as must of those claims are bogus software patents.
Apple stole the GUI and mouse from Xerox. When are the penalties for THAT?

Long ago eBay filed lawsuits on other online auctions for stealing the “look and feel” of eBay

I would love to buy an iphone, but the screen is too small for my 47 year old eyes and they dumb it down so you can’t customize it, unlike android.
What apple needs to do: Make a phone like the Samsung Note (only available on AT&T, whose network for voice calls in the St. Louis area is unacceptably weak for business purposes). Samsung has sold 10MM Notes - 5.3 inch gargantuan screen great for people who can’t see well and who want to be able to use a stylus.
Unfortunately, Apple is the only game in town for many important apps because the developers ALWAYS develop for the Apple first and some companies whose apps I NEED don’t develop for Android at all.
I think the iPhone 5 coming out shortly will be easier on older eyes such as mine.
And folks, it’s called intellectual property.
Apple has only Cult Status and Logistics and some Engineering on it’s side.
Everything else is a result of a closed architecture resulting in high prices that fund lawsuits.
I can say with certainty their software development tools are crap crap from the 1980’s.
Everything from the developers angle is a rehash of old technology.

I’d love to see Apple (or anyone else) stick it to Google’s leftist heart.
You got that right. I run into many Apple cultist who are more rabid and irrational than Obama cultists.
Apple has always been run by paranoids. Apple is not interested in justice. Apple is using the courts to destroy competition.
Apple's management is truly afraid of radical capitalism.
F#$k Apple and their BS!
Yep.
The Coca Cola bottle, for example.
Well it could of been far worse financially for Samsung. Curious how we have come so far after Apple lost a suit to MS over look and feel?
Hahahahahahahahaha...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah...
Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Apple Computer is the MOST successful company in America, producing items that intelligent (and successful) people love to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proud owner and user of iMac, iPhone, MacBook, and iPad...
