It said several of Samsung's devices had infringed iPhone-maker Apple's software and design patents. The jury rejected Samsung's claims that several of its patents had been breached and awarded it no damages.
The jury ruled that some of Samsung's handsets, including its Galaxy S 4G model, had infringed Apple's design patents for the look of of its iPhone including the system it uses to display text and icons. However, it dismissed the allegation that the South Korean firm's tablets had infringed the rectangular design used for Apple's iPad . It also found that all the disputed Samsung devices had copied the bounce-back response in the iOS system's user interface, without paying a licence. This makes lists jump back as if yanked by a rubber band when pulled beyond their limit.
Another infringement involved use of Apple's tap-to-zoom feature . Samsung failed to convince the jury Apple owed it money for using technologies it claims to own including listening to music on a device in the background while carrying out another task; and integrating a phone, digital camera and email facility into a single device.
