Google officially commented on the ruling against Samsung for infringing on Apple's patents and slapping the company with a fine of over $1 billion.
"The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims. Most of these don't relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the US Patent Office," Google said in an official statement. "The mobile industry is moving fast and all players - including newcomers - are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that."
Samsung has said it will appeal against the decision in the San Jose court.
BBC reported that many who believe the ruling could lead to handset makers choosing Windows phone system over Android. Apple has said it might seek a sales ban on Samsung's 17 phones. Though this list does not include Galaxy S3, but it includes previous Samsung devices.
Apple revealed during the proceedings that it had licensed some of its technologies to Microsoft and it had not infringed on its patent. Following the ruling, Bill Cox, marketing director for Microsoft's Windows Phone Division tweeted, "Windows Phone is looking gooooood right now."
This will give Microsoft other handset makers to pursue Windows phones.
"I think this will force a reset on Android products as they are re-engineered to get around Apple's patents," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the tech consultancy Enderle Group. "[It should also] provide a stronger opportunity for both of Microsoft's new platforms -Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 - because they come with indemnification against Apple, suddenly making them far safer."
"This is a big loss for Google. There were actually two parties being sued by Apple. Google just wasn't named," said Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics at CNET.
