[Despite]

I believe he was referring to this answer.

Q: There had speculation that Samsung might be awarded damages as well because of its claim that Apple had infringed its technologies.

A: "What was key to us... is that [the technologies] had to be interchangeable."

"And so consequently, when we looked at the source code - I was able to read source code - I showed the jurors that the two methods in software were not the same, nor could they be interchangeable because the hardware that was involved between the old processor and the new processor - you couldn't load the new software methodology in the old system and expect that it was going to work. And the converse of that was true."

Edit: Specifically, he convinced the other jurors that because the "methods in software" were not interchangeable ... well, rereading it I'm not sure what his conclusion is.
