Samsung owes Apple a whole bunch of money now that a verdict has been reached in the epic smartphone patent infringement case between the two tech giants.
The verdict is being announced right now.
The jury has awarded Apple over $1 billion dollars. Or $1,051,856,000, The Verge reports.
Samsung was countersuing, but the jury says Apple didn't violate Samsungs patents. Apple owes Samsung zero in damages.
The jury found that Samsung infringed on Apple's products. The jury says, yes, all of the Samsung devices named in Apples claims infringed on Apple for one patent or another.
Not every product was found to have infringed on every patent that Apple named in its suit.
The jury also found that Samsung should have known about Apple's patents for at least 10 smartphones, but not for its Galaxy Tab tablets. That's important for figuring out how big the damages claim can be.
The jury did not find any of Apple's patents to be invalid.
