In the US. Their main market is the rest of the world.

By the way 1 billion to Samsung is like $20 to us.

It's extremely basic stuff. These patents should never have been allowed.

Apple should just patent patenting.

Will Samsung go bankrupt? What are the consequences here?

Not at all. They are pretty big WW and at most after paying the damages,they'd have to end the lines in the states(which weren't all that to begin with).

Honestly I hope Samsung can get out of it properly.

Another fun fact: Also noteworthy is that all the value from the Android ecosystem is concentrated in Samsung.

No, I'm sorry, but this monopoly is disgusting. What ever happened to competition?

What other kind of bull has Apple patented?

But this will hurt their reputation pretty bad and that can cause further damages.

No doubt! But that was for the people who thought this would collapse the company financially.

Their best selling phone is a prepaid one. They ain't that big. Apple is already winning in the US anyway.
I think the ban will be lifted (a la germany)

[Dr. Shenanigans]

at all the people undervaluing Samsung's $$$. They are one of the biggest companies in the world and can easily drop a billion likes it's nothing. The money itself isn't really the issue.


But these patents tbh are basic and ridiculous. I am glad they didn't find the ridiculous thin, all glass, round corners on a tablet patent as infringing though.

They probably patented the term "app store".

I get it now that I read through all pages.
Not some thinking this payment for damages will end such a juggernaut company.

They Have actually, and rightly so.

Microsoft tried to challenge it last year, not sure what the outcome was.

Samsung is like the epitome of GLOBAL. Yes even more than our faves.

[Reza]

i love how the judge didnt care that samsung said they were only "inspired" by apple and still made them pay up. i think some of your faves should be put on trial for constantly making such similar statements.

[fabian_phipps]

So, can an "inventor" patent any and everything they creates?. Even if it's...(tbh) basic or even logical stuff. Seems pretty ridiculous.

Crying.

I should start patenting random stuff and wait for companies to infringe on my intellectual property.
