The trial that began 2months ago in July, Apple Inc top executives who testified in coherent narratives in court unveil very deterimental inner Samsung documents showing that the company alter its products to be more like the iPhone.

Having 25 hours trial time each, Samsung lawyers used too much time in the start out and couldn't cross examine some Apple witnesses towards the end of the trial. Samsung staffs testified through language interpreters and in video depositions that disaffect jurors.

"Instead of witnesses, they sent you lawyers," Apple attorney Harold McElhinny said during his closing argument.

while Samsung's own patents were a major part of behind-the-scenes negotiations, at trial its lawyers struggled to present them on the same ground with Apple's intuitively all-embracing design and feature patents.

Samsung had the opportunity to opt for a separate trial on its patents, but they declined. Its lawyers were carried away by the fact that placing its own allegations in front of the same jury would balance out any toxic impact from breaches of Apple patents.

It didn't work. Samsung was found to violate six of Apple's patents, the jury said. Whether damages will be tripled is a decision for Koh in the coming weeks.

Samsung asked for up to $399m on its standards patents and they got nothing.

However, Samsung has pledge to keep fighting on. It could get an appeals court to delay any potential sales ban, which would give it time to bring new, modified products to the market.
