US courts have convincingly affirmed Apple's patents by awarding $1.05b ruling Samsung wilfully infringed on certain features:
- bounce back, pinch and zoom, user interface and rounded corners


At the same time, the court ruled no Samsung patents were infringed in contrast to a South Korea court that earlier in the week found both companies offended.

Hmmn, what does this mean for you in Kenya? More importantly, will this serve to quell the growth of Samsung the disruptor?

What of Samsung Galaxy tablet?
This category offered one spot of good news for Samsung: The jury ruled that Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablets did not infringe on Apple's design patents for the iPad.

What does the ruling mean for Google and Android?
Armed with loads of significant patents now deemed valid in court, Apple could go on to sue other companies -- namely, Android maker Google and its hardware partners.

I think if push gets to shove,Google might start paying royalties to Apple.
Samsung to some extend do chew on Apple's innovations.They always come up with a product not-so-dissimilar from what Apple launches.
Before the respective product hits Samsung's home market, a lot of regulatory red tape buys time for Samsung to "come up" with a not-so-distinct product.

The desire to beat Japanese and be number one in the world will keep Samsung on the rise.
