Recall
the patent war between Samsung and Apple which ended with Apple winning
the case with Samsung having to pay about $ 1 billion to Apple. Since the decision was released by the court in 2012, Samsung has
appealed several times, and the figure has been reduced to about $ 400
million at the moment.
Now, through a re-hearing request, Apple and Samsung are seen meeting again in court. The decision was made by judge Lucy Koh in determining how much Samsung should pay Apple for copyright infringement. Previously, Apple and Samsung have met in court as patents of Apple's patent rights by Samsung.
Through this replay, it will focus on how Samsung's payment count for Apple is done - whether based on the entire device sales or vice versa. If the other way around, the amount to be paid by Samsung will be less and profitable for them - instead for Apple, they should expect a fee based profit calculation generated on every Samsung-sold device.
Apple and Samsung need to recommend a hearing date before October 25. Apart from that, both companies also have the possibility to resolve their disputes outside the court with the consent of both parties.
