Apple<http://link.ft.com/r/19JYUU/16L2DT/HDRWGM/HYGN23/NJEISH/N9/h?a1=2012&a2=8&a3=24>Apple
has won an emphatic victory in its US patent battle with Samsung, after a
California jury found that the South Korean electronics group infringed a
substantial majority of its contested design and user-interface patents.

The jury awarded just over $1bn in damages to Apple after it found that
several of Samsung’s smartphones “wilfully” infringed the patented
appearance and features of the iPhone including so-called “rubberbanding”
scrolling, its sleek glass front and its grid of colourful, round-cornered
apps.

The jury also found that Apple did not infringe any of Samsung’s wireless
technology patents.
