Samsung will be paying an additional $290 million in damages to Apple. A jury in California on Thursday said that the Korean smartphone manufacturer owed Apple $290 million for infringing upon its intellectual property. Apple had asked for $380 million in damages, so the jury’s reward is a good outcome.
Samsung had said that it should only pay an additional $52 million to Apple, so the jury’s verdict is a success for a Apple. Samsung has already paid $600 million to Apple after a jury found it guilty of patent infringement in 2012, which means that the total damages the company will have to pay to Apple will be $890 million for this patent case alone.
But will it matter to Samsung who makes a huge amount of money every day and now has market share.
