Apple Inc. won a verdict of more than $1.05 billion after jurors found Samsung Electronics Co. infringed six of seven patents for mobile devices in the first lawsuit to go before a U.S. jury in a fight for dominance of the global smartphone market.

Apple won less than half of what it sought in damages from the federal court jury, though the computer maker may see its verdict tripled by the judge. Samsung avoided a finding of damages for antitrust law violations or breach of contract.
