Apple's $380 million case against Samsung goes to jury
A California jury will begin deliberating on Tuesday how much money Samsung should pay to Apple for the infringement of several patents in multiple models of Samsung smartphones. Apple wants just under $380 million, but Samsung is arguing it shouldn’t pay more than $52 million.
The eight person jury made up of six women and two men heard closing arguments from lawyers on Tuesday morning after four days of testimony that focused on the iPhone’s influence and explored what drove consumers to buy the phones they did.
A lawyer for Apple, Bill Lee, asked jurors to put themselves in the shoes of Steve Jobs and other Apple employees who “went to work before the sun came up and went home after it set” when working on the iPhone. He told them how Jobs took a risk and “bet the company” on the iPhone.
Lee also reminded the jury of several key Apple exhibits: internal Samsung documents including one from Samsung mobile chief JK Shin that asked engineers to “make something like the iPhone.”
