The Patent War In Silicon Valley Continues

The federal circuit court in Washington DC ruled in favour of Apple and has significantly reduced Samsung's chances of escaping the hefty fine due to Apple for patent infringements.  Samsung now has only two routes left: they may either lodge an appeal with the U.S Supreme Court or else to pay Apple the fine which has totalled up to $548m.

The feud between these two major tech companies has been going on for years. In fact in 2012, the district court in California had concluded that Samsung must pay a fine for infringing Apple's iPhone Patents. Players within the tech industry have often pointed out that the products in dispute are no longer really sought after in the market due to the fact that Apple has launched various other products since then. Nonetheless, Apple will continue to fight for its unique and novel designs.
