In a unanimous decision, the
Supreme Court ruled
on Tuesday in favor of Samsung in their ongoing case against Apple over design
patent damages. The Court’s decision reversed an earlier ruling by the Federal
Circuit that awarded Apple $399 million in damages.
The court held that the term “article of manufacture” should
not necessarily be construed to mean only an end product sold to consumers, but
could also be construed more broadly to mean infringing components of a product.
