With the rise of smartphones and the arrival of Apple and its iPhones on the market (behind the iPhone,Steve Jobs has been elected the most influential person of the past 25 years ), Samsung saw a strong competitor landing. This was followed by a historic rivalry become today between the two firms, rivalry often synonymous with complaints and lawsuits. At the last trial on day two builders, a California court has delivered its verdict and, once again, is Apple coming out "winner" .
Samsung ordered to pay $ 120 million to Apple, away from 2000000000 claimed by the bitten apple!
Small reminder of the facts. Apple accused Samsung of violating five of its patents with 9 models of smartphones and tablet. The bitten apple then called the "modest" $ 2 billion. If Samsung has been sentenced to 120 million dollars , it is far from the sum claimed by Apple, so much so that there is even talk of failure for the Cupertino company.
Note also that the Korean automaker had also filed a complaint against Apple (for that matter), complaint concerning infringement of several patents. Apple was also found guilty of patent infringement and is fined 158 $ 400 (Samsung claimed 6 million). Lucy Koh, the judge presiding over the trial, said that one aspect of the case had been "forgotten" in the judgment.
It has not yet heard the last of this conflict. The fact is that the trial was an opportunity to discover documents / unpublished information. We have for example learned that Samsung saw the death of Steve Jobs as an opportunity to attack the iPhone or that Samsung considered the iPhone 5 as a tsunami need neutralize . Anyway, let us know your feelings about this conflict . An end to this conflict is possible?
