Patent Case Aftermath: Samsung Down By $12B (And Still Slumping) While Apple, Nokia, RIM All Gain

Image (1) Samsung-galaxy-s.jpg for post 335827We still have to wait and see how the jury's ruling against Samsung over Apple patentswill play out for the company in terms of actual fines, injunctions -- and crucially -- future device design for the handset giant. But for now the markets have spoken. Share prices for Samsung Electronics fell by 7.5% yesterday, equating to a $12 billion loss in market value. However, it looks like this was a single big hit rather than the start of a series of sustained blows for the Android handset maker: today, shares are still trading down, but not by nearly as much: 3.65%, giving it a market cap of $159.38 billion.Samsung's loss was really Apple's gain, although others like Nokia and RIM got a bump, too.
