Round two: a new trial between Apple and Samsung for $ 2 billion

Remember last year's judgment between Apple and Samsung? At that time the Korean company has lost $ 1 billion, which appeared on the network gave jokes truck filled with coins in denominations of 1 cent. Not really. The Court of Appeal continues to this day. In fact, both companies went to their corners, but not for long. Lawyers from Cupertino have prepared new charges against plagiarists.

If the last time the charges built up around the look of your device, but now it comes to software and repeated copying products. Apple intends to collect from Samsung in the region of $ 33-40 for each device sold, for a total of more than $ 2.525 billion. Fantastic amount is not it? However, it is less than the original last year.

Interesting fact - the new court Samsung «translates arrow" on Google, on the grounds that they were developed almost all of the software. Is it the search giant and was the target of Apple? What if the company Tim Cook wants to embroil the newly minted partners?

As is the custom, Samsung filed a counterclaim to Apple. They had allegedly suffered moral harm (yes, and even harm the honor, dignity and business reputation. approx. author).

At this time, the Korean manufacturer wants to put pressure on the jurors emotionally, telling how they have accidents there was a crisis of design, and Apple all patents, and the patent does not give other companies to develop their own score.

The mainstay of the Samsung lawyers, at the moment, is a statement about the use of only 2 Apple patents for the period from 2010 to 2012. If you're wondering, the first comes to the menu "Gallery" design, and the second of the compression video traffic using FaceTime.

Unlike Apple, Samsung is not to reduce the required amount, and weighty such an increase. Koreans assess the damage caused to them by almost $ 421.8 million. Not bad, huh? For comparison, last year they were asked to only $ 6.9 million.

It would seem, why bother to such protracted costly courts do not bring any results? But I think we know the answer. Thus, Apple wants to show that it is not necessary to use their development. A Samsung just unlucky to get under the hot hand, though, and deservedly so.
