From Nilay Patel, managing editor of The Verge and former copyright lawyer:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/24/3266571/apple-decisively-wins-samsung-trial-what-it-means

"The company spent most of the past month telling the jury that the iPhone was a revolution five years in the making, and that Samsung had taken just three months to copy it, without bearing any of the costs or risks involved. The jury clearly agreed — and most importantly, the jury agreed that all of Apple's patents are valid, even after Samsung spent hours trying to demonstrate prior art.

After this, the dominoes will begin falling fast. In the short term, expect Apple to seek sales injunctions against the accused devices that are still on sale — the Galaxy S II is still available around the world, for example, and the power of a jury verdict will make those requests very easy for Apple to pursue. We're also sure to see Samsung appeal many of the legal decisions made in the case, and it's all but certain Apple will appeal the jury's decision regarding the iPad's trade dress protectability. That's a big chip for it to win."
