The jury in a bitter Apple-Samsung patent trial in California has reached a verdict, the court said Friday. The verdict in a case that could have huge implications for the hot market in smartphones and tablet computers is expected to be announced in a San Jose, California courtroom later Friday. The jury has been in deliberations since closing arguments on Tuesday. Apple, which accuses the South Korean electronics giant of copying the iPhone and iPad too closely, is seeking damages of up to $2.75 billion and an injunction that could knock some Samsung products off the US market. Even a delay in sales could endanger Samsung\'s position in the US market, where it is currently the top seller of smartphones. Samsung has countered by arguing that its patents on wireless communication were infringed by Apple, and is demanding up to $422 million from the Silicon Valley manufacturer.
