Samsung wants court to review damages in patent fight with Apple<article>

Samsung Electronics has asked that a full bench of an appeals court should review a damages award in a long-standing patent infringement dispute with arch-rival Apple.</p><p>
Apple sued Samsung in 2011 alleging that Samsung phones infringed on several iPhone patents. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California awarded Apple damages of $930 million after a jury found that Samsung infringed Apple’s design and utility patents and diluted its trade dresses, which relate to the overall look and packaging of a product.</p><p/>

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit agreed last month with the jury’s verdict on the design patent infringements, the validity of two utility patent claims, and the damages awarded for the design and utility patent infringements appealed by Samsung. But the appeals court reversed the jury’s findings that the asserted trade dresses are protectable, and vacated the damages relating to trade dress dilution.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2937552/samsung-wants-court-to-review-damages-in-patent-fight-with-apple.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
