Samsung triumphs over Apple at the Supreme Court

A unanimous Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out the almost $400 million in damages Samsung was ordered to pay Apple in a long-standing dispute over the patents on elements of smartphones. The justices ruled that Samsung does not have to pay Apple damages based on the profits for the entire device, only a component, and reversed and remanded the case back down to a lower court. In delivering the court's opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the text of the law resolves the case.
