A California jury yesterday awarded Apple $120 million and Samsung $158,000 after finding both companies infringed each other's smartphone patents.
The damages awarded to the two tech giants paled in comparison to what each had sought. Samsung Electronics Co. sued for $6 million after arguing that Apple had infringed on two patents related to camera use and video transmission, while Apple sought $2.2 billion after accusing Samsung of infringing on five patents covering universal searching, quick linking, automatic word correction and background syncing and slide-to-lock functions.
"This is a victory for Samsung, in my view, as it sought to downplay the patents' real value," said N. Venkat Venkatraman, a Boston University professor of management. "Clearly, the jury has sided with the arguments forwarded by Samsung's lawyers that Apple's patents are not worth as much."
The verdict marked the latest intellectual property battle between the world's top two smartphone makers.
Two years ago, another jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $930 million after finding it had used Apple technology to create older-generation devices. Samsung is appealing that verdict.
"You'd like to think what they'll learn is this continuous patent litigation is not going to deliver the clear verdict either sought," said Van Baker, an analyst at Gartner. "The Samsung award probably won't even cover the company's legal fees. You would hope this would lead both of them to settle their differences and come to a cross-licensing agreement."
