All the mobile manufacturers are not going to remain knotted up in arbitrations and trials forever. They will eventually reach a settlement. This fact was known even before the verdict that came out last week. This was the precise reason for which Judge Koh had mocked the lawyers of both the firms for wasting the courts time.
The only real change that comes about is the negotiating power. The reason the CEOs of Apple and Samsung could not reach an agreement earlier was because of neither knew where the negotiating power really lay. That has been cleared out by this verdict.
I predict that settlements will come thick and fast over the next 3 years or so and a new system for sharing patents
