Apple vs. Samsung: iPhone Company Receives $290M Over Patent Dispute

A federal jury ruled this week that Samsung Electronics has to pay Apple $290 million over a patent dispute involved technology used in iPhones and iPads, according to the Associated Press.

The conclusion came after just two days of deliberations that started when U.S. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh gave jurors instructions after closing arguments from both parties at a San Jose courtroom.

Apple was looking for closer to $380 million, according to AP.

Samsung said it should only have to pay $52 million for the use of "pinch to zoom" and 13 other features found in 26 different Samsung products. Samsung chose that amount feeling that the features weren't the reason people chose to purchase a Samsung device over an Apple device.

"For Apple, this case has always been about more than patents and money," Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said in a statement. "It has been about innovation and the hard work that goes into inventing products that people love."

Samsung is expected to appeal the decision, according to AP.

A third trial has been set for March to review Apple's claims that Samsung's newest devices, like the Galaxy S3, currently offered also copied Apple technology.

Apple and Samsung are considered the world's two biggest smartphone manufacturers. The decision isn't expect Apple or Samsung financially.

"We understood that the money wasn't really an issue," said juror Barry Goldman-Hall. "This was about the integrity of the patent process."
