Did you forget to read the part where the jury used information from outside the
trial and even skipped the part about validity?

Did you also miss the part where members of the jury were giving engineering and
legal advice to the other members, or that once the foreman told them about his
patent and gave them his (expert testimony?) version of how patents work then
everybody in the jury knew how to vote without those pesky instructions?

Not all copying is infringement
Authored by: gdeinsta on Sunday, August 26 2012 @ 01:25 PM EDT

If anything the juror's comment makes me think that the jury did not consider the actual legal questions at all. They just assumed that copying is bad and punished Samsung for copying, not for infringement.

This also explains why they did not punish Apple for infringing Samsung's patents, patents that have stood up in other courts. They didn't consider that following a standard is copying - but it may well be infringement.
