For three years, Samsung has challenged the court’s decision on infringement of patents on Apple’s technology. On August 13, the US Federal Court of Appeal refused to revise the decision that Samsung should pay compensation for patent infringement by Apple, Reuters
reported . Now it became known that on Wednesday, Samsung appealed to the US Supreme Court. About this
writes The Verge.
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 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,

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.
The subject of the dispute is still a few other patents related to design and technology, which Samsung allegedly appropriated to itself.
