苹果胜诉改变手机行业力量平衡

Jorge Contreras, an associate professor at American University Washington College of Law, said the monetary damages in the case are a 'painful hit' to Samsung. But he argued that Android device suppliers, with relatively little effort, can keep pumping out new products. 'Apple's patents will not be that hard to design around,' he said. 'I don't see this verdict as an Android killer.'

美利坚大学华盛顿法学院(American University Washington College of Law)副教授孔特雷拉斯(Jorge Contreras)说，此案裁定的高昂赔偿金对三星而言是一个“痛苦的打击。但他又说安卓设备供应商不用付出很大努力就可以继续推出新产品。他说，想要绕过苹果的专利拿出自己的设计也并非难事，我不认为这一判决结果将致安卓于死地。

Shipments of smartphones running Android accounted for 68% of the smartphone market in the second quarter, according to market tracker IDC, compared with 17% for the Apple iPhone. The verdict is unlikely to change that momentum, several executives at large companies said.

市场调研机构国际数据公司(IDC)说，今年二季度安卓智能手机的出货量在智能手机市场的占比达68%。相比之下，苹果iPhone的市场份额仅有17%。多家大公司高管说，这一判决不太可能改变安卓继续向前发展的势头。

Apple has chosen not to sue Google, for reasons it hasn't explained. But patent lawyers say it is easier to make a case for monetary damages against companies like Samsung that sell hardware to consumers. Google, which generates most of its revenue from online advertising, doesn't charge hardware makers for its software. A Google spokesman didn't respond to requests for comment.
