The confrontation between the most serious competitors in the mobile market continues. About a month ago, Apple still has achieved its goal: as a result of litigation concerning patent infringement court in San Jose,. California ordered Samsung to pay the prosecutor more than $ 1 billion. This amount should cover the alleged loss suffered by Apple's, when the South Korean manufacturer has used in its products patented ideas and technologies. This was not the end: Now Apple calls Samsung's additional compensation totaling more than $ 700 million.
As part of a summer court Apple accused Samsung of unauthorized use of its patented technology. Among them - zooming by double-clicking (double-tap zoom) and the pinch (pinch-to-zoom), as well as the design and application icons in iOS. As stated in the new Apple application "Only for the first 6 months of 2012, Samsung has gained about $ 1.2 billion from the sale of 26 product models, involving technology owned by Appleยป. Moreover, the assurances of the company from Cupertino, Koreans use proprietary technology was not an accident or coincidence, it's designed business strategy.
But claimed to pay compensation of $ 700 million - is only a warm-up. The American company urgently requires the court to ban the Samsung to distribute its mobile devices in the United States.
In response to these attacks the South Korean manufacturer wants to deploy a new trial. According to representatives of Samsung, the company lost the previous process due to lack of time to prepare evidence of his innocence. These complex processes usually take much more time, and this time Samsung just did not have time to collect the necessary documents and certificates.
