The 事例／患者 is part of a 一連の 論争s between the 科学（工学）技術 競争相手s that began in 2011. Apple （刑事）被告 Samsung of duplicating a handful of 独特の iPhone features for which Apple 持つ／拘留するs 特許s: the flat 審査する, the 一連の会議、交渉／完成するd rectangular 形態／調整 of the phone and the layout of icons on the 審査する.
At 問題／発行する was how much Samsung is 要求するd to 補償する Apple under an 1887 法律 that 要求するs 特許 infringers to 支払う／賃金 "total 利益（をあげる）." Apple said that means all the 利益（をあげる）s from the phone sales, while Samsung argued it was 限られた／立憲的な to 利益（をあげる）s 関係のある to the 明確な／細部 構成要素s that were copied.
司法（官） Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the 法廷，裁判所 that the 法律 does not 要求する 損害賠償金 to be based on the entire 製品, but can be 限られた／立憲的な to only a 構成要素 of the 製品. The 決定／判定勝ち（する） overturned a 判決，裁定 from a 連邦の 控訴，上告s 法廷，裁判所 in Washington, which said that Apple was する権利を与えるd to all the 利益（をあげる）s.

Samsung in a 声明 called the 判決，裁定 a victory "for all those who 促進する creativity, 革新 and fair 競争 in the marketplace."
The 特許 戦う／戦い between the 科学（工学）技術 巨人s was 存在 closely watched by other 産業 巨大（な）s. Companies 含むing Google, Facebook and eBay 味方するd with Samsung, arguing that the 判決 was an 過度の windfall for copying a few features of the iPhone.
On the other 味方する, sportswear 製造業者 Adidas and 宝石類 製造者 Tiffany & Co. said 許すing Apple to 回復する all the 利益（をあげる）s Samsung earned would discourage "design 著作権侵害者s" and 保護する companies that 投資する in creative designs.
"This 除去するs a 脅し for 科学（工学）技術 companies," said Janelle Waack, a Washington, D.C., lawyer 専攻するing in 特許 法律. "The 製品s that 会社にする／組み込む 科学（工学）技術 are not automatically going to get stung with a 特許 違反 控訴 that's going to cost them all of the 利益（をあげる）s from their 製品."
