在美国三星跟苹果的侵权官司，法院作出裁决，判三星侵犯苹果专利，须赔偿苹果 10.5亿美元。
法院指三星侵犯了苹果硬件和软件的 6-7项专利。但法院亦指出三星 Galaxy Tab 并没有侵犯苹果 iPad 的设计专利。
三星在判决后回应表示，这次裁决是 “美国消费者的损失”，这会导致更少选择，更少创新并可能推高产品售价。三星亦指专利法例可让一间公司垄断了圆角长方形的设计是不幸。
三星最后亦表示，这次判决并非是次案件的结局，亦不是世界各地的专利官司结局。一些法院已经很多苹果的诉讼。三星会继续创新并向消费者提供更多元化的选择。
Today’s verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices.
It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products.
This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple’s claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.
