IPhone Patents, Samsung should pay more than 290 million dollars to Apple

The invoice becomes even greater for Samsung who must pay an additional 290 dollars million. In total there is approximately 890 million dollars to Apple now.

For Samsung, the days pass and the millions of dollars that will have to pay Apple are gathering. Thursday, Nov. 21, a jury in California has added to the invoice of $ 290 million. This brings the total amount owed by the South Korean manufacturer to 890 million dollars.

Remember that the initial issue of this mega-trial was violated patents on the iPhone. But rather that the amount of damages and paid interest had to be recalculated, due to an error. In the first calculation, therefore erroneous, Samsung was ordered to pay more than a billion dollars to Apple.

This additional $ 290 million is situated between the requirements of two parts: Samsung estimated this amount to $ 52 million, 380 million in Apple. It adds to the 600 million that Samsung had already given its American counterpart.

For Apple, who spoke after the new verdict, its patents relate to "innovation and all the complex work of our teams to invent products." Now, except rebound last minute, this episode seems closed.
