Jury deliberations underway in Apple v. Samsung trial

"This case has huge implications. It could result in injunctions against both companies."-Mark P. McKenna, University of Notre Dame Law Professor
During closing arguments on Tuesday, Apple's chief attorney Harold McElhinny said that after the launch of the Apple iPhone, Samsung was having a "crisis of design" and illegally copied the device to cash in on its success. Samsung said it was merely giving consumers what they wanted, smartphones with big screens. Samsung says that not only did they not infringe on Apple's patents, but those patents were really developed by other companies.

Besides the hefty jury verdict forms, in the jury room is a number of smartphones and tablets for the jury to use during deliberations. As we told you on Tuesday, Judge Koh has ordered the members of the jury to refrain from inserting a SIM card in the models. Nor are they allowed to update any device or load apps on them as the idea is to keep their appearance the same so the jury can determine if patents were infringed upon.
Considering what is at stake, experts expect the jury to take some time to get the verdict right.
