The nine jurors in the case reached a verdict afteranswering more than 700 questions in a verdict form over three days ofdeliberations in a San Jose court in California.
According to the verdict, Apple's patents were valid and thecompany did not violate any of Samsung's patents.
An Apple spokeswoman said in a statement that the verdictsends a "clear message that stealing isn't right. The mountain of evidencepresented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper thaneven we knew... We make these products to delight our customers, not for ourcompetitors to flagrantly copy."
Reacting to the verdict, Samsung said it would ask the courtto overturn the verdict and also plans to appeal in a higher court.
Samsung said the verdict "should not be viewed as a winfor Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewerchoices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices."
Samsung said the verdict is not the "final word"in the case or in "battles being waged in courts and tribunals around theworld, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims."
