A jury is expected to decide on Monday, May 21 whether Apple will receive over $1 billion in damages from Samsung from their long-time legal battle over patent infringement claims.
Aside from competing to take the top spot in the global smartphone market, Apple and Samsung have also been butting heads in courts over patent infringement claims filed by the iPhone maker back in 2012.
In the previous week, a new jury with eight members was installed followed by the presentation of witnesses and arguments by Apple and Samsung.
As the hearing concluded last Friday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh tasked the jury “to determine the articles of manufacture to which Samsung applied Apple’s patented designs.” To do so, Koh outlined in a 47-page final instruction four factors that the jury should consider during deliberations.
The jury will once again meet on Monday to continue their deliberation and is likely to reach a final verdict on the same day. But, according to SamMobile, there is also a chance that the decision will not be announced until Tuesday. Meanwhile, an earlier report from CNET also said Koh expects it will not take more than a few days for the jury to reach a verdict.
It has been decided in 2012 that Samsung applied Apple’s patented designs in developing their smartphones. But the Supreme Court reversed the decision in 2016 reducing the valued damages to $399 million citing that the patented designs may have only been applied to specific parts of the smartphones involved in the lawsuit. The case was, then, sent back to the district court to determine the articles of manufacture in this particular case.
In the latest trial, Apple argued that Samsung applied their patented designs on the entire phone models sold in the previous years. When favored by the jury, Apple could receive over $1 billion in damages.
Samsung, obviously, argued otherwise and maintained that the articles of manufacture, in this case, are just the phone parts and not the entire device.
The South Korean company, then, argued that the patent infringement decision should only be applied in the "round-cornered, black glass front face" for patent D’677, the "round-cornered, glass front face and surrounding rim or bezel" for patent D’087, and the "display screen" for patent D’305. Thus, Samsung is looking to pay only $28 million in damages.
