Payment amount in dispute between Apple and Samsung is reduced to 598.9 million

Since last night all watching the patent dispute between Apple and Samsung publishing headlines about the new decision Judge Lucy Koh (Lucy Koh).

The solution significantly reduces the amount of payment before a jury in the amount of 1.05 billion dollars, and commits to review the case against him appearing in some products. Subject to review is to determine the size of the damage of the patent infringement in these products. The new payment amount, named by the judge, is approximately $ 600 million.

The decision stated that the court considers incorrect basis for calculations that have guided the jury.However, the court can not determine the extent of damage, so you need a new trial to determine damages, possibly caused by a violation of patents in the following products: Galaxy Prevail, Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Galaxy SII AT & T, Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Transform.

Payment for these violations is 450 million dollars, has been canceled, and its size should be determined through a re-trial (unless the parties reach an agreement out of court.) Specify that the judge's decision does not mean that there is no violation, and says only that the amount of damages calculated incorrectly.

Amount of damage to 14 other products that appear in the case, was not changed. As already mentioned above, it is approximately $ 600 million.

The fact that Judge Koh believes that the amount of damages calculated incorrectly , it was known back in December.
