Following three days of deliberations, the second patent infringement trial between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. has finally reached a verdict.

For the second time, Samsung was found guilty of infringing two of Apple's patents, according to an eight member jury in San Jose, California. The jury agreed all the accused Samsung phones infringed the 5,946,647 quick links feature patent.

For the search system patent (No. 6,847,959), Samsung was found not guilty of infringement.

Samsung was also found not guilty of infringing Apple's data synchronization patent (No. 7,761,414), similar to iCloud.

The fourth patent in the case involved the "slide to unlock" patent (No. 8,046,721). The jury's verdict was a mixed result for Samsung. The jury agreed Samsung violated the Apple patent but only for some devices, not all.

The fifth patent Apple accused of infringement dealt with the autocorrect feature. The jury found Samsung guilty of infringing patent No. 8,074,172,

In regards to financial damages to Apple, the Cupertino-based company requested $2 billion. Instead, Apple was award $119,625,000.

Samsung also countersued Apple, claiming the iPhone company infringed two of its patents and wanted $7 million in damages. The court ruled Apple violated one of the patents. As Ina Fried reported, the infringement by Apple was not willful. Samsung was awarded $158,400.

The second patent infringement trial follows the August 2012 verdict when a jury awarded Apple over $1 billion in damages against Samsung. U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh would later reduce the financial damages to $929.8 million. Judge Koh also presided the second patent trial.

The latest patent infringement trial could have been averted back in February. Reports circulated Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Samsung CEO J.K. Shin for a mediation session with the intent to avoid the March trial.

The mediation session resulted in no agreements, and the trial was underway resulting in over 50 hours of testimony including opening and closing remarks.

The second patent infringement trial also revealed Google's involvement with Samsung aside from providing the Android operating system. Emails exchanged between Google and Samsung were disclosed in court. It was revealed the search engine company provided Samsung financial assistance for the infringement trial against Apple.

Google's patent attorney James Maccoun confirmed the validity of the emails between Google and Samsung, which dated back in 2012. Maccoun stated the assistance in Samsung's defense fees were part of a "strategic agreement" with the South Korean-based company due to the "Mobile Application Distribution Agreement" (MADA). The MADA required Samsung to include Google apps on Galaxy devices.

Apple and Samsung are able, and likely, to appeal the jury's verdict.
