A US court has yet again ruled that Samsung copied Apple's smartphone design patents, and this time the Korean electronics giant is on the hook for $539m.

A jury in a northern California US district court needed five days to decide that Samsung's phone division really did rip off Apple's patented designs. It's the latest twist in what has become a marathon seven-year saga over allegations that Samsung's ancient Android handsets use design elements stolen from the Cupertino iPhone flinger.
