Samsung did not have time to transfer Apple a fine of $ 548 million for patent infringement, as the Korean company had new problems. Now the iPhone maker claims another $ 180 million.



According to Apple, the damage was inflicted by those five Samsung devices, which the South Korean company was selling after the 2012 judicial verdict, which pleaded guilty of Samsung for violating the patent rights of the iPhone manufacturer.

In turn, Samsung appealed the case to the US Supreme Court. The company said that Apple received compensation in an amount far greater than it deserves for its patents, reports Reuters. "Samsung is exacerbating this case because it believes that the interpretation of the laws [in court] does not correspond to the current situation," the company said in a statement. At the same time, the court has not yet decided whether to accept this complaint for consideration.



On December 4, Megamind wrote that a US court rejected Samsung Electronics’s request to reassemble a jury to reappraise Apple’s compensation. After that, the parties agreed that Samsung will transfer $ 548.2 million to the account of the American corporation within 10 days, that is, until December 14, 2015.



On September 17, Apple won an appeal in a patent proceeding with Samsung Electronics. Apple now has the right to interdict certain features of Samsung devices.



In 2011, Apple accused Samsung of copying the manufacturing technology and design of the iPhone smartphone. Apple CEO Tim Cook backed up the charges with relevant patents.



Among them is the unlocking of the screen from the movement of a finger on it - slide to unlock. In addition, the list of stolen technology includes a patent for a data detection system, such as a phone number in the address book when entering similar numbers, as well as automatic correction of the spelling of words on smartphones.



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.



On May 18, 2015, a US court reviewed the dispute between Apple and Samsung in 2012. 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.



Thus, at the beginning of a multi-year litigation, the American company requested compensation in the amount of $ 2.5 billion. However, the court estimated the damage at $ 1 billion. In 2015, Samsung managed to reduce this amount to $ 930 million, and then, in May, to $ 548 million.
