Apple versus Samsung: Jury foreman justifies $1bn verdict

 

 

The verdict in the recent Apple-Samsung patent trial in the US has sent shockwaves through the tech industry.

and designs.

But today a court in Tokyo ruled that Samsung Electronics did not infringe on patents held by Apple.

So why do verdicts vary in different countries? Was California biased?
