Taxing Apple's $119.6 Million Patent Verdict Against Samsung

Apple's jury verdict against Samsung is only the latest episode of the patent slug-fest between the two tech giants. Apple accused Samsung of violating smartphone patents, though to a smaller extent, Apple was found to have infringed Samsung patents too. While $119.6 million is nothing to sneeze at, it's a tiny fraction of the $2.2 billion Apple sought. In 2012, a different jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $930 million, but Samsung has appealed.
