Seoul. Samsung Electronics expressed his satisfaction after the decision of a federal appeals court US to relieve you have copied the design of the iPhone, and Apple accused of having made an “exaggerated” claims.
“We welcome the cancellation of the judgment by the Court of Appeals United States about claims for damages on commercial image presented by Apple against Samsung “he said the technology giant said in a statement from its headquarters in Seoul.
On Monday the US court overseeing litigation involving patents, partially affirmed the verdict of a federal jury in California to conclude that several devices Samsung had violated Apple’s patents.
However, annulled part of that judgment decreed in August 2012 to consider the South Korean firm did not copy the image to set the iPhone, which could substantially reduce the compensation provided.
“The decision shows that Apple’s claims are worthless and are greatly exaggerated,” he said in his statement Samsung Electronics, which also pledged to “continue to take all necessary measures” to “protect” their products.
The dispute between the two tech firms in the North American country began in 2011, when Apple filed suit in federal court in California against Samsung, accusing him of violating related patents the design of their mobile devices.
In August 2012 the court ruled in favor of the company on the block and determined that its South Korean competitor should pay 1,050 million dollars in damages. After several reviews by the courts, the amount was set at $ 930 million.
In its appeal, Samsung had requested that the fine be reduced to 382 million dollars by arguing that their phones were not a iPhone replica.
So, after the final verdict of the court of appeals, the number that the South Korean company must pay to the US will be subject to further revision.
