The jury found that Samsung infringed on six of seven patents for its mobile devices. The verdict could lead to a ban on U.S. sales of any mobile products that a judge deems to violate Apple’s rights.

Apple won less than half of what it sought in damages, though a U.S. district judge could later triple the damages against Samsung under federal law.

The judge, Lucy Koh, scheduled a hearing next month to consider Apple’s request to make a permanent ban on U.S. sales of some Samsung devices, including its Galaxy Tab 10.1 computer.

Samsung said in a statement that the “verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer.”  Samsung will ask the judge to overturn the verdict and will appeal the case if it is not overturned.
