Finally the case filed by Apple
Inc. against Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is won by Apple Inc. on Friday (25th Aug - 2012) as the
jury found that the Korean firm had copied critical features of the iPhones and
iPads. Now Samsung have to pay over 1 billion dollars to Apple for the damages.

According to reports from the
courthouse, as of 4 p.m. Pacific the jury found that Samsung violated on
Apple’s so-called “pinch and zoom” patent, or the ability to make text on a
touchscreen bigger by moving one’s fingers outward; and even its bounce-back
patent, or the way the image onscreen bounces back when it is dragged with a
finger to the edge of the device.
This legal win on Friday came one
year after CEO Tim Cook assumed the direct the firm. This week apple climbed
the biggest market value in history i.e. climbed almost 2% to a record high of
$675 in after-hours trade. Apple lawyers have planned to formally demand
Samsung to pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the US
market.
Apple upended the mobile phone
business when it introduced the iPhone in 2007, and shook the industry again in
2010 when it rolled out the iPad.
