Samsung got a reduction on the $1.05 billion of damages it was ordered to pay Apple last year. Judge Lucy Koh, who presided over the mega trial ordered a reevaluation of $450.5 million of the initial damages awarded to Apple to take place in a new trial with a different jury.

The new trial will involve 14 Samsung devices whose per-product damages from the first trial were found to be questionable. Some of the notable Korean devices include the Samsung Nexus S 4G , Infuse 4G , AT&T Galaxy S II , and the Galaxy Tab.

Having a new trial means that, depending on which way deliberations swing, Apple could receive a larger amount awarded in a judgment, or Samsung might get a break in the amount it owes its rival.

The new trial will not take place until appeals of the current verdict have ended. We honestly can't see an end to the saga in the near future.




just when we thought it was all over, I think Samsung and Apple should just get together and sign a cross-licensing deal, or this will never end, the only people benefiting from this are law firms

It'll never happen. Apple just have the opinion they own a patent for everything. They think being competitive is having no competitors.

Bizarre !
