A Silicon Valley jury awarded Apple, Inc. just 5.5% or $119.65 million of the $2.2 billion in damages it had demanded that Samsung Electronics pay for infringing several of its smartphone patents.

On the other hand, the same jury awarded Samsung only $158,400 (or 2.3%) in damages from Apple out of the $7 million Samsung had asked that Apple pay for infringing its patents.

Some analysts saw the verdict Apple as a setback for Apple, which wanted $2.2 billion in damages for what it alleged was Samsung's massive infringement of five of its patents by nine models of Samsung smartphones and a single model of tablet computer. The case involved five Apple patents that were not in a 2012 trial that Samsung lost.

Apple wanted to ban sales of several Samsung phones, including the new Galaxy S3. It will now be left to Judge Lucy Koh to decide whether a sales ban is needed but legal experts see this as improbable.

Despite a massive trove of evidence, Apple's arguments failed to convince the jury that Samsung should pay the full amount in damages. The jury found that Samsung had infringed only two Apple patents.

It ruled that Samsung's products infringed Apple's U.S. Patent 5,946,647. It was for this patent the jury awarded Apple some $99 million or 83% of the total damages awarded.

The jury, however, returned a single finding of $0 in damages for one patent for Samsung's Galaxy S II. As this phone had been found to infringe, the jury should have awarded some reasonable royalties to Apple. Judge Koh has asked the jury to reconsider this decision.

The jury, however, found that none of the Samsung devices infringed on Apple's patents on background synchronization of app data and universal search.

The jury rendered a mixed verdict on the slide-to-unlock motion on mobile phone home screens covered by U.S. Patent 8,046,721. Samsung was also previously found to have infringed a fifth patent on autocomplete while typing. The jury was only asked to calculate damages for this patent. Samsung will appeal the verdict.

Apple was found to have infringed a Samsung patent on organizing a mixed gallery of images and video in a digital camera. Apple products found to have infringed this Samsung patent are the iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 models and the 4th- and 5th-generation iPads. On this patent, Samsung was awarded only $158,400 in damages from Apple.

Some industry experts see the ongoing legal tussle as an attempt by Apple to curb the rapid growth of phones based on the rival Android software made by Google, Inc. Samsung is the largest adopter of the Android OS worldwide.

The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California is Apple Inc vs. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, 12-630.
