More from GlobalPost: Samsung violated Apple patents, jury finds
Last week, a jury in California found Samsung “willfully” infringed on half a dozen patents relating to Apple’s iconic iPhone and iPad.
The nine-person jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages, but Judge Lucy Koh has the power to triple the amount because the infringements were found to be “willful,” the Washington Post reported.
Samsung has vowed to contest the verdict.
