A U.S. appeals court has reinstated a $119.6 million award for Apple in a long-running smartphone design patent dispute with rival Samsung.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled Friday (http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions-orders/15-1171.Opinion.9-30-2016.1.PDF) that two Apple smartphone design patents, one related to a-slide-to-unlock feature (https://www.google.com/patents/US8074172), are valid and Samsung infringed a third patent related to helping smartphone users find phone numbers.
The case goes back five years, when Apple first filed a series of patent lawsuits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Samsung_Electronics_Co.) against Samsung, alleging infringement of several Apple's iPhone design patents.
