Google has issued a statement on the Apple vs. Samsung verdict saying that most of the infringements don't relate to the core Android OS.

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. 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.

Apple's response to the ruling was "Stealing Isn't Right". Samsung said it was a "Loss for the American Consumer".
