As I have explained in other threads - Samsung holds four times as many patents as Apple, and these are real patents on things like telecommunications, manufacturing processes, screen technology, LED's, etc. as opposed to Apple's frivolous patents such as rounded rectangles. Apple thoroughly deserve it.
Samsung got a big win in the International Trade Commission today, as the ITC handed down a final ruling finding that several models of AT&T-compatible iPhones and iPads infringe a Samsung patent, and issued an exclusion order preventing them from being imported, sold or distributed in the US. This final ruling comes months after an ALJ determined that Apple did not infringe any of Samsung's IP, but clearly, the commission felt differently upon its review. This final determination holds that AT&T models of the iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G, plus AT&T iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G models infringe four claims of Samsung's patent number 7,706,348 for encoding mobile communications.
