Samsung and Apple have had the most epic of courtroom battles, and the latter scores another victory as jury orders Samsung to pay $290 million in damages for infringing on Cupertino’s patents.
This particular case has been going on for quite some time, last year’s verdict saw Apple being awarded $1 billion in damages as a result of patent infringement by Samsung. However Judge Lucy Koh ruled that the jury had miscalculated the award to the tune of $400 million so a partial retrial ensued.*The retrial has now ended and the jury has order Samsung to pay an additional $290 million to Apple.*Roughly $600 million from last year’s verdict is still outstanding.
Apple had argued at the retrial that it should receive another $379 million, whereas Samsung said that it only owed $52 million for the damages that were being reconsidered. However, the six-woman and two-man jury came up with its own figure after deliberating for three days.*Samsung can still appeal this verdict, but if it does not, the total damages it would have to pay Apple after the two cases amounts to $929.83 million.
Even if Samsung pays the outstanding damages, its not like the companies will stop battling in court. There’s already another case set for trial next year which concerns a newer generation of Samsung devices.
