BBC reported that the jury in the Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd lawsuit started deliberations on Wednesday after hearing the tech giants' lawyers' closing arguments on Tuesday.

Apple initiated the lawsuit over four weeks ago alleging that Samsung had copied the design and some features of Apple's iPad and iPhone for their own products. Samsung lawyers, on the other hand, say that Apple infringed a patent for key wireless technology (amongst others).

Reuters reported that Apple is seeking $2.5 billion in damages as well as a sales ban on the Samsung products in question.
