London - Shares in Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung have tumbled after the company was ordered to pay Apple more than one billion dollars for infringing six of the US tech giant's patents.
The company's shares fell seven percent in Seoul trading, their biggest fall in a single day, in almost four years,
Samsung was ordered to pay 1.05 billion dollars in damages to Apple, in one of the most significant rulings in a global intellectual property battle.
According to the BBC, analysts said investors were worried that the ruling could affect Samsung's revenues.
"An adjustment in the next few days is unavoidable as the damage amount was much bigger than market expectations, and there are further uncertainties, such as the possibility of a sales
ban," the report quoted John Park, from Daishin Securities, as saying.
The nine-member jury at district court in San Jose found that Samsung products violated Apple 's patents related to screen bounceback and zooming.
They said the Korean company also infringed the design and graphical interface of Apple's iPhone.
