As a result of the revision of the patent dispute, Samsung will pay Apple $ 382 million less
On May 18, a US court reviewed the 2012 dispute between Apple and Samsung . According to the court, such details of the appearance of the smartphone, as a rectangular shape, rounded corners, black edging and a smooth transparent surface, are not the subject of a patent dispute. Therefore, the amount of compensation that Samsung should have paid has been reduced by $ 382 million.
The subject of the dispute is still a few other patents related to design and technology, which Samsung allegedly appropriated to itself. The trial began in 2011. In 2012, Samsung was ordered to pay a compensation of a billion dollars. After the first appeal filed by the company, it was decided to reduce the compensation to $ 930 million, reminds The Verge.
Last year, companies made a joint decision to end patent disputes outside the United States. Thus, litigation ended in Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France, South Korea and Japan. However, proceedings continued in the United States.
Against the background of information on the revision of the court decision, the value of Apple shares rose by 1% and reached $ 129.97 per share. Well-known entrepreneur Carl Aikan believes that in fact the company's shares are much more expensive. In his open letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, he outlined a price of $ 240 per share.
')
He is not the first time talking about it. In February, his valuation of the company exceeded a trillion dollars. The cost of one share then was estimated by him at $ 216. The opinion of Karl Aikan does not at all coincide with the analysts' estimates.
In February, Megamind wrote that Apple, in turn, was sued by Ericsson , accusing it of violating 41 patents on mobile technologies: 2G and 4G wireless communication, information display, energy-saving technologies, and principles of the mobile operating system.
In mid-January 2015, the license agreement between Apple and Ericsson expired. Negotiations on its extension began 2 years ago, but the companies did not come to a decision that would suit both parties. Apple simply refused to pay royalties.
