A U.S. jury has found Samsung guilty of copying the iPhone and determined the company must pay Apple $1,051,855,000 in damages.
The Verge breaks down some of the damages:
- Prevail: $57,000,000
- Infused 4G: $44,792,974
- Transform: $954,060
- Replenish: $3,350,256
- Mesmerize: $53,123,612
The jury also found that all Apple's patents were valid and Samsung willfully infringed on them in many cases. Notably, they determined the iPhone's trade dress (visual appearance) is protectable but only on the iPhone 3G.
Ruling on Samsung's case against Apple, the jury found that Apple did not violate any of Samsung's patents and awarded Samsung $0 in damages.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has addressed employees following the company's win over Samsung for patent infringement.
Here's the memo sent to employees as obtained by 9to5Mac:
-----
Today was an important day for Apple and for innovators everywhere.
Many of you have been closely following the trial against Samsung in San Jose for the past few weeks. We chose legal action very reluctantly and only after repeatedly asking Samsung to stop copying our work. For us this lawsuit has always been about something much more important than patents or money. It's about values. We value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. And we do this to delight our customers, not for competitors to flagrantly copy.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the jury who invested their time in listening to our story. We were thrilled to finally have the opportunity to tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than we knew.
The jury has now spoken. We applaud them for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right.
I am very proud of the work that each of you do.
Today, values have won and I hope the whole world listens.
Tim

Samsung Galaxy S ඇතුලු තව Samsung devices 21ක් මේ විදියට Apple ලාගේ designs copy කරා කියලා තමයි මේ නඩුව දාලා තිබුනේ. Pinch and Zoom හා Bounceback effect වගේ දේවල් තමා Samsung ලා හොරකම් කරලා තියෙනවා කියන්නේ. 
ඉතින් competition එකක් නැතුව කොහොම ගනන් යයිද කියන්න බෑ. 
මීලඟ නඩු වාරය ලබන සැප්තැම්බර් 20 ලූ. මේකෙදී සමහර විට අර කියපු devices 21 ඇමරිකාවේ තහනම් වේවිද දන්නේ නෑ. මේවා කොහොම උනත් වාසනාවකට ලංකාව ඇතුලු ආසියාවේ අපිටනම් ලොකු අවුලක් වෙන්නේ නැති වේවී.
