The US Supreme Court will see a battle over patents between Samsung and Apple. The issue is not how the phones work, but how they look. Apple says Samsung copied distinctive features of the iPhone, including its black translucent front screen, rectangular shape with rounded corners, and grid display of colorful icons for applications.
Two lower courts have already ruled in Apple's favor. The justices must now decide how much Samsung should pay for their infringement. Should they pay an amount based on the value of the design features, or the total profit Samsung has earned from selling different versions of its smartphones? A decision is expected in late June.
