Apple Claims Extra $180 Mln From Samsung In Patent Dispute

Earlier this month, Samsung Electronics paid $548 million to Apple after the latter won the patent infringement lawsuit. However, Apple doesn’t seem to be happy with the amount received.

The Cupertino company has filed papers in court on Wednesday claiming that Samsung owes an nearly $180 million extra - split between $178.7 million in supplemental damages and $1.2 million in prejudgement interest.

“The additional $180 million is based on a product-by-product calculation for five devices Samsung sold after a federal court jury in San Jose, California, found in August 2012 that the Galaxy maker had infringed Apple patents”, Bloomberg reported.

Foss Patents provides the declaration by Apple's damages expert Julie Davis.  According to the website, Samsung is not going to cough up the additional amount without a fight.

The company has already filed an appeal to the US Supreme Court hoping to upend the ruling that found it liable for infringing patents on Apple’s iPhone and was ordered to pay $930 million. The amount was split into $548 million for technology patents and $382 million for charges that Samsung copied Apple's packaging materials.

“Samsung is escalating this case because it believes that the way the laws were interpreted is not in line with modern times,” Samsung said at the time.
