The jury has reached a verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung patent infringement retrial - it said Samsung must pay Apple $290 million for copying iPhone and iPad features in its devices.

On Thursday, November 21, the eight-member jury awarded Apple $290 million in damages. The verdict comes after the previous jury came to the decision that Samsung owed Apple $1.05 billion for copyright infringement.

However, at the time Judge Lucy Koh ordered a retrial as the jury had miscalculated the amount payable by Samsung to Apple.

The current ruling comes in the second week of the retrial. While the $290 million verdict is almost $100 million less than the $380 million damages demanded by Apple, it is way more than the $52 million figure offered by Samsung. Samsung is expected to appeal.

"For Apple, this case has always been about more than patents and money. It has been about innovation and the hard work that goes into inventing products that people love," said Apple in a statement. "While it's impossible to put a price tag on those values, we are grateful to the jury for showing Samsung that copying has a cost."

The jury's verdict covers 13 of the 26 Samsung devices, which Apple said, had imitated the technology of its iPhone and iPad. These devices primarily include older Samsung tablets and smartphones.

Samsung was found guilty of infringing Apple patents, including the hotly debated "pinch and zoom" feature for tablets and smartphones.

Additionally, Apple has asked Judge Koh to consider a sales ban against all older generation  Samsugn devices that make use of its technology. In the past, Judge Koh has refused the issuance of such an injunction; however, an Appeals Court has requested her to reconsider.

Moreover, a separate trial to decide if current Samsung devices infringe Apple's patents or not, has been scheduled for March 2014.

With the new ruling, Samsung owes Apple close to $900 million (previously Apple was awarded $550 million).
