A US federal appeals court handed a partial victory to Apple, ruling Samsung infringed the iPhone maker’s intellectual property but setting aside part of a USD 930 million jury award.<\/p>\n
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which handles patent lawsuit appeals, affirmed a jury’s findings that Samsung infringed several Apple patents.<\/p>\n
The appeals court, however, ruled against Apple’s so-called “trade dress” claims related to the distinctive look of the iPhone, the Wall Street Journal reports.<\/p>\n
The appeals court sent the case back to the trial level for the damages award to be reduced for the portion of the case Apple lost on appeal.<\/p>\n
Samsung had been seeking to have the jury award lowered by USD 382 million because of the jury’s trade-dress findings that Samsung argued were erroneous.<\/p>\n
The appeals court battle came after an August 2012 trial in San Jose in which a federal jury found that a range of Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S II and the Droid Charge, infringed Apple’s patents.<\/p>\n
Jurors originally awarded USD 1.05 billion in damages, but that figure was reduced to USD 930 million after the judge called for a retrial on some damages issues.<\/p>\n
