I haven't followed the case at all so maybe there's a lot more to it but there should never be a patent on anything like that - who was the first cereal company to put cereal in a square box with an illustration on the front? They need to sue all the other cereal manufacturers, they were first to have a square cornered cardboard box with an illustration on the front.

patent laws are ridiculous.
The best part is the jury assigned damages but failed to actually find them guilty of some things. The judge has to round them back up and get them to edit their ruling document so that Samsung is actually found guilty and not just paying Apple money.
