Apple wins $119.6M appeal against Samsung

Apple has won an appeals court ruling against Samsung for $119.6 million, reinstating a previous patent-infringement verdict, Bloomberg reports. Related to several Apple parents, including the slide-to-unlock feature, this ruling overturns a prior three-judge ruling that threw out the verdict from February, after a jury trial resulted in the original award. The U.S. Court of Appeals decided in an 8-3 ruling that the three-judge panel was wrong to throw out the earlier verdict, and in fact ordered the trial judge to consider whether the amount should be increased based on intentional infringement by Samsung.
