In deciding to award Apple $119 million in the latest Apple-Samsung patent case, the jury had to make their way through a 12-page matrix of products, patents and dates.
So, it’s not surprising that attorneys found one minor inconsistency–the one that will force the jury back to work on Monday. For a single product–The Galaxy SII–the jury awarded no damages even though it found infringement. While possible under certain circumstances, Judge Lucy Koh ruled that the jury should be reminded that Apple is entitled to a reasonable royalty for any products found to infringe.
The ruling means that the final amount due Apple is likely to be slightly higher than the initial verdict.
Meanwhile, the jury also found Apple infringed on one Samsung patent, and awarded the Korean electronic giant about $158,000 in damages.
Here’s the full jury form:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
