In 2011, between Apple and Samsung has begun litigation. The first accuses competitor of malicious copying patented "technology," and hopes to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation. After another round of confrontation Samsung agreed to pay Apple $ 548 million, but it seems that the leadership of the South Korean giant felt his decision was premature: the US Supreme Court admitted the appeal, due to which Samsung hopes to reduce the amount of the payout.
Samsung believes that the value of patent-protected technology - form the body of the smartphone with rounded corners, the arrangement of icons and other interface - does not correspond to the final amount of compensation. According to Samsung, the establishment of such a precedent could affect innovation, suppress competition and adversely affect the economy and consumers.
Overall, Samsung hopes to reduce the amount of compensation to $ 399 million.
