Original title: Samsung compensates Apple 500 million US dollars, both sides respond to this matter in a statement
According to foreign media reports, a jury in the latest patent infringement case between apple and Samsung Electronics ruled on Thursday that Samsung was sentenced to pay Apple $538.6 million for infringing Apple's iPhone utility and design patents.
About six years ago, a U.S. federal jury ruled that Samsung Electronics infringed Apple's iPhone design patent for smart phones and paid $1 billion to the latter. However, after Samsung's appeal and review for several years, the jury tried the case again a few days ago and reached a unanimous verdict, changing the compensation amount to 538.6 million US dollars.
"The fact is that Samsung has blatantly copied our designs," Apple said in a statement after the latest ruling. At the same time, we thank the jury for their service. They agreed that Samsung should pay for copying our products. 」
Samsung responded: "today's ruling is beneficial to Samsung and is in line with the scope set by the Supreme Court for damages for design patents. We will consider all options to achieve results that do not affect creativity. 」
