Verdict Reached in Epic Apple vs. Samsung Case
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Samsung ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion in lawsuit over smartphone technology. In its lawsuit filed last year, Apple Corp. had demanded $2.5 billion while accusing Samsung of ripping off the design technology of iPhones and iPads. During closing arguments at the trial, Samsung attorney Charles Verhoeven called that demand ridiculous and asked the jury to award Samsung $399 million after claiming Apple used Samsung Electronics Co. technology without proper compensation. The two companies lead the $219 billion market for smartphones and computer tablets. They are enmeshed in similar lawsuits in the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia.
