Judge Thomas Pender ruled that Samsung has stepped upon Apple's patented turf regarding the design of the iPhone, its touchscreen technologies and for connecting headphones.
In the meantime, Samsung issued a statement saying that the decision might diminish choices and raise prices for consumers, and that: "We will continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure the availability of our innovative products for American consumers."
