Part of Apple's verdict against Samsung reversed by appeals court

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Part of the verdict won by Apple against Samsung in 2012 has been reversed due to trade dress issues.</p> <p>A portion of the verdict against Samsung, which Apple won in 2012 (http://www.imore.com/apple-vs-samsung-verdict-jury-finds-mostly-apple-orders-samsung-pay-over-1-billion-damages), has been reversed by a U.S. appeals court.<!--break--> The court ruled that Apple's trade dress could not be protected, while upholding patent infringement claims.</p> <p>From Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/18/us-samsung-apple-appeal-idUSKBN0O31E020150518?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=technologyNews):</p>
<p>The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the patent infringement violations found by the jury. But the $382 million awarded for trade dress dilution will have to be reconsidered by the lower court. Trade dress is a legal term for a trademark on the way a product is packaged or presented.</p>
<p>The amount awarded to Apple in that trial (http://www.imore.com/tag/apple-vs-samsung), once over $1 billion, now sits at around $550 million. The verdict in the case originally came in August 2012, following a lengthy trail in which Apple alleged that Samsung had violated several of the company's patents. A jury eventually found that Samsung did, in fact, violate several Apple patents, and ordered them to pay damages to Apple.</p> <p>Source: Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/18/us-samsung-apple-appeal-idUSKBN0O31E020150518?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=technologyNews)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/466a99f9/sc/7/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
