Samsung can’t seem to shake Apple off its back and although damages of $599 million were awarded to Apple, the tech giant still isn’t satisfied. In documents filed by Apple, they claim Judge Lucy Koh made an $85 million error in calculating damages. Supposedly, Koh thought the jury had granted $44,792,974 for the Infuse 4G and $40,494,356 for the Galaxy S II on AT&T. However, according to Apple, Samsung’s own statements prove that “disgorgement of profits for design patent infringement”, were permissible.
In that case, Apple claims they should be awarded damages from 16 products, not 14, and would increase the damages to $685 million. Still, that’s about $365 million less than the original verdict. Moving forward, Apple wants Koh to redetermine the damages immediately while Samsung wants a stay, “a suspension of a case or a suspension of a particular proceeding within a case”, as it believes Apple’s findings are premature.
