Apple awarded $1bn in damages from Samsung in US

A US court has ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05bn (£665m) in damages for infringing intellectual property.
The jury decided several Samsung devices had infringed iPhone-maker Apple's software and design patents, but rejected counter claims by Samsung. Apple will now seek import bans on several of its rival's products.
In recent weeks, a court in South Korea ruled that both technology firms had copied each other while a British court threw out claims by the US company that Samsung had infringed its copyright. But the year-long US case has involved some of the biggest damages claims and is likely to shape the way patent licences are handled in the future.
