MC2 Post 1367 Apple's Big Win over Samsung -- What Does it Mean?





If it stands, a jury's one-sided decision will impact consumers, vendors and the entire tech industry. But for now, it's a wait-and-see game.

History buffs will note that Apple scored one of the most lopsided victories since Agancourt on Tim Cook's one year anniversary as the company's CEO. Late Friday, a jury in San Jose, Calif., courtroom decided overwhelmingly in favor of Apple's patent claims against 
Samsung, awarding the company $1.05 billion in damages.

The verdict is likely to reverberate throughout the tech world and beyond, but it won't have much immediate effect on consumers. The next steps will more legal action, with Samsung expected to file an appeal and Apple filing for injunctions on Samsung products that violate its patents.
