Samsung ordered to pay Apple $290 million for copying iPhone and iPad
features
The verdict in San Jose, California, covers 13 older Samsung devices that a
previous jury found were among 26 Samsung products which infringed Apple
patents.
The previous jury awarded Apple 1.05 billion US dollars (£650.9 million) but
US District Judge Lucy Koh ordered the new trial and threw out 450 million US
dollars (£279 million) of the damages after concluding that the previous jury
had miscalculated the amount Samsung owed.
Samsung appealed against that verdict and is also expected to appeal against
the latest verdict.
A third trial is scheduled for March to consider Apple's claims that
Samsung's newest devices on the market also copied Apple's technology.
