Apple Wins Patent-Infringement Case Against Samsung

Apple reportedly won its patent-infringement case against Samsung in a decision that limits the U.S. import of certain products.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) in Washington today handed out an almost-final verdict in Cupertino's favor; the ban is still subject to review by President Barack Obama, who can overturn it on public policy grounds.

The news comes almost a year after Cupertino won more than $1 billion in a patent battle against Samsung.

Apple Wins Patent-Infringement Case Against Samsung

A federal jury last year found two dozen Samsung devices infringed on patents already held by Apple, but aside from a hefty fine for Samsung, no other repercussions had been doled out. In fact, Judge Lucy Koh in December concluded that damages were enough for Apple, and a full ban of the products in question was not necessary.
