Samsung loses US patent dispute - but Apple loses as well

A court in California has ordered Samsung to pay $119.6 million (£70.9 million) for infringing Apple patents. However, it noted that Samsung hadn’t infringed all of the patents that Apple claimed. In addition, Apple was ruled to have infringed a Samsung patent and was required to pay $158,000 damages.

Apple had claimed damages of $2.2 billion.
