Judge rules Samsung didn’t willfully infringe on Apple patents, denies additional compensation

Samsung Apple Patent Dispute

Losing a $1 billion patent verdict is never fun, but Samsung (005930) can now at least look on the bright side: At least it wasn’t a $1.5 billion verdict. The Verge reports that Judge Lucy Koh, who oversaw this past summer’s Samsung-Apple (AAPL) patent trial, has ruled that Samsung did not willfully infringe on Apple’s patents and that Apple is not owed any additional compensation. In her ruling, Koh said that Apple had failed to prove the “objectively high likelihood that its [Samsung's] actions constituted infringement of a valid patent,” since Samsung showed that it had reason to believe that some of Apple’s patents were invalid and thus couldn’t be used in a suit against the company.
