Samsung willfully infringed US Patent Nos. 8,982,086, 10,176,848 and 11,017,815, a Texarkana jury determined Wednesday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The patents concern methods for systems for video, photo, reproduction and unlocking functions.

8,982,086:

An information processing apparatus includes a touch panel which displays pieces of identification information including letters, figures, and symbols and detects a contact of the panel with a finger of a user or other object.

10,176,848:

In a recording and reproducing apparatus and a recording and reproducing method for the recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing image information on a scene obtained through photographing, relative to a predetermined first recording medium and being capable of setting one or more chapters to each scene, a face recognizing process is executed for a photographed image based on the image information, an importance level of each chapter is set in accordance with a result of the face recognizing process for a very important person (VIP) set by a user, and each chapter having a relevant importance level among importance levels of respective chapters is selectively reproduced.

11,017,815:

In order to provide a recording and reproducing device that allows a user to select and manage arbitrary play lists, a unit of management for managing all registered play list information and an upper management hierarchical level are added.

So Maxell has a patent on touch displays, object recognition in photography, and file management using "play list".

And that's only 3 of the patents I found... Wow...
