In the leading edge of dozens of disputes worldwide between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. over smartphone features, a federal jury in San Jose awarded Apple $1.05 billion on August 24. If the award standsSamsung has appealedit will rank as the largest patent verdict in history.
Since Apple filed its claims in U.S. district court in San Jose in April 2011, Samsung has filed counterclaims against Apple in Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, the U.S. district court in Delaware, and the U.S. International Trade Commission.

(On the day of the San Jose verdict, a South Korean court ruled that Samsung had not infringed some Apple patents in dispute in the San Jose case.)
