Apple’s $1 billion copyright victory against Samsung will hurt Android phone makers, a Topeka Capital Markets senior analyst said Monday on CNBC.

“This is a very, very sweet victory for Apple. It really enhances their brand as an innovator. Samsung looks as if it’s the imitator,” Brian White said on “Fast Money.”

“I think it definitely puts a dent in the brand,” he said. “I think it’s a very, very important point: Who’s pure, who innovates and who’s authentic plays into your brand.

“I think it will be an impact in the device makers, which will slow down some of the Android ecosystem for sure.”
