Apple tries to US judge miscalculated reducing Samsung’s damages by $85 million

Apple is saying that US judge Lucy Koh miscalculated reducing the damages to be paid by the Korean tech giant by $85 million.

According to CNET, “On March 1, Koh removed $450.5 million from the original $1.05 billion judgment against Samsung and called for yet another trial to recalculate the damages.

“But now Apple is crying foul, saying that the judge made a mistake in reducing at least part of the damages that Samung was ordered to pay following last year’s patent infringement trial.”

CNET adds, “As such, the number of products to be included in the damages award should increase to 16 from 14, according to Apple. That would then raise the affirmed damages to $685 million from $600 million, which represents almost two-thirds of the full $1.05 billion. In its own filing, Apple has asked the court to reconsider its March 1 ruling on the two products in question.”

Apple’s request reads, “Apple respectfully requests that the Court grant Apple leave to file a motion for reconsideration and that the Court reconsider its March 1 Order as to these two products, reinstate the jury award of $40,494,356 for the Galaxy S II AT&T, and $44,792,974 for the Infuse 4G and calculate supplemental damages for the Galaxy S II AT&T.”
