Apple prevailed on most of its claims against Samsung, and was awarded a little over $1 billion in damages. They will seek to triple that amount in post trial motions with the court because of a finding of willful infringement, although it is unlikely because already it is the largest award in patent infringement litigation. Apple is expected to immediately file for injunctive relief to stop Samsung from selling the infringing devices. It also appears that this may cause most Android manufacturers to change the look and operation of devices that are too similar to Apple's iPhone, for fear of losing similar claims. Of course, this all assumes that Samsung does not prevail on a likely appeal.
