    Overwhelmingly yes, so far.

    What do SEC, SEA, and STA stand for?

    The utility patents were pretty obvious that Samsung infringed. Now they're on to the design patents - and most Samsung products infringed the design patents as well.

    Samsung is in BIG trouble.

    Bloomberg now states Design patents infringed too, and the Samsung Parent company is responsible.
    Note they say "wait for the validity of the patents" question and the Damages.

    Interesting. 'No' to the D889 patent on the tablets. That looked to me like one of the ones that was most obvious.

    Glad to see the jury didn't fall for any of Samsung's examples of prior art for pinch/zoom and overscroll bounce.

    Interesting. Validity of patents upheld.

    Jury finds that Apple's trade dress for the phones is protectable, but not the tablets. I guess Samsung's Fidler tablet nonsense actually convinced someone.

    "Question 9 — Should Samsung have know they were infringing?"


     


    "D'677: Yes for Fascinate, S 4G, S2 ATT, S2 Tmobile, Epic 4G Touch, Skyrocket, Showcase, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, and Vibrant"


     


    "D'087: Yes for S 4G, Vibrant. No for S2 ATT, S2 Epic 4G Touch, S2 Skyrocket, Infuse 4G."


     


    "D'305: Yes for Captivate, Continuum, Showcase, Gem, Indugle, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, Vibrant."


     


    "'889 No for both Galaxy Tab models."


     


     


    "Was Samsung willful in its infringement? Big one here for damages."


     


    "SEC: Yes for all but D'087 and D'889"


     


    "SEA: Yes for 381, 915, 163"


     


    "STA: Yes for all but D'087 and D'889"


     


    "All patents valid!"


     


     


    Emphasis is mine.


     


    Basically, Apple won.  The only remaining question is; how much did they win considering the infringement was deliberate and willful?
