Samsung must pay $290 million to Apple in patent case
A jury has ordered Samsung to pay US$290 million to Apple for infringement of several of its patents in multiple Samsung smartphones and tablets.
The verdict, reached on the third day of deliberation by the eight-person jury, is less than the $380 million Apple was demanding for the infringement, but it’s much more than the $52 million that Samsung had been arguing it should pay.
Apple got the entire amount of lost profits and royalties it had been arguing for and most of the cut of Samsung’s profits it demanded.
The verdict represents a second victory for Apple in its multiyear patent fight against Samsung in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
