Apple to snatch $1.049 Billion from Samsung :

The jury in the epic Apple-Samsung trial ruled mostly in favor of Apple, including awarding Apple $1,049,343,540 in damages. Samsung, on the other hand, was left with a total grant of $0 in damages. Apple’s total monetary demand was $2.525 billion.

The jury found no infringement by Apple on any of Samsung’s utility patents.
The jury found that Samsung infringed on patents for ’381 “bounce back” scrolling functionality on all devices.
On the ’915 patent, relating to one finger to scroll, two to pinch and zoom navigation, all but three Samsung devices (Ace, Intercept and Replenish) infringed.
For Apple’s ’163 patent (tap to zoom) all Samsung devices except Captivate, Indulge, Intercept, Nexus S 4G, Transform and Vibrant infringed.

But the chapter is not closed completely yet. According to The Verge Samsung and Apple attorneys have been talking with Judge Koh about a preliminary injunction hearing, and have apparently agreed to schedule it on September 20. If a jury finds that someone willfully infringed on a patent ”the court may increase the damages up to three times the amount found or assessed.” On the other hand the judge has the power to lower the damages if she finds that no “rational jury” could have awarded such an amount.

Here’s another possibility, since some of Samsung’s products are still on the market, Apple may(or will) come back to court next month to ask Judge Koh to issue an injunction to ban them or can also ask for ongoing damages since Samsung is still selling the offending products.

Anyway, Apple’s wealth is still leaping, doesn’t matter money comes from the pockets of users or competitors.
