Samsung must pay Apple $1bn in damages

Jury return verdict in Apple vs Samsung patent dispute.
A jury in California has ruled that Samsung should pay Apple $1.05bn (£665m) in damages in the intellectual property lawsuit that has the tech world on the edge of its seat.
The jury said that several of Samsung's devices had infringed Apple's software and design patents. It also rejected Samsung's claims that several of its patents had been breached and awarded it no damages.
Apple may now seek an import ban of some of its rival's products, blocking them from the US market.
