美国陪审团裁定三星赔苹果1.2亿美元

A US jury has ordered Samsung Electronics to pay 119.6 million US dollars to Apple, over alleged copying of smart phone features.

The amount is far less than Apple had sought, and marks a big loss for the iPhone maker in the latest round of their globe-spanning mobile patent litigation. During the month-long trial in a San Jose federal court in California, Apple accused Samsung of violating patents on smartphone features including universal search. But Samsung denied wrongdoing. The ruling came on Friday, when the jury found the South Korean smartphone maker had infringed two Apple patents.

Apple and Samsung have been litigating around the world for three years. In a 2012 trial also in San Jose, Jurors awarded the iPhone maker about 930 million US dollars, but Apple failed to persuade US District Judge to issue a permanent injunction against the sale of Samsung phones in the United States.
