[WASHINGTON] The US Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed out a US$399 million patent award from Samsung over copying Apple's iPhone design, sending the case back to a lower court.
The justices ruled 8-0 that Samsung should not be required to forfeit the entire profits from its smartphones for infringement on design components, in a case closely watched by the tech industry.
