“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to. I’m going to destroy Android,because its a stolen product.I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this”Those were the words of late Apple Founder and CEO Steve Jobs and in death he has gained victory as a court just awarded Apple $1billion in damages in a suit that had been brought against Samsung for patent infringements.
Apple had asked the jury to award it $2.5 billion in damages for what it said was Samsung’s violation of a handful of patents related to the physical design and software functions of the iPhone and iPad.
In a counter suit, Samsung had demanded that Apple pay it $422 million for its own patent violations.
In the end, judgement was passed based on the evidence Apple presented during the trial which included some covet internal Samsung memos and strategy documents, which left little doubt that the iPhone was actually the inspiration behinde a major effort by the Korean manufacturer to produce its newer versions of mobile phones.
