Apple Decisively Wins Samsung Trial

Nilay Patel, The Verge:

There is no way to interpret this as anything but a sweeping, definitive victory for Apple.

The company spent most of the past month telling the jury that the iPhone was a revolution five years in the making, and that Samsung had taken just three months to copy it, without bearing any of the costs or risks involved. The jury clearly agreed — and most importantly, the jury agreed that all of Apple’s patents are valid, even after Samsung spent hours trying to demonstrate prior art.
