The Apple-Samsung lawsuit ball is now in federal jury’s court after experts hired by both the companies explained their stand to the jury over the course of one week.
The two companies have been presenting their stand and arguments in front of the jury over the amount of money Apple should get from Samsung for infringement of five of its patents in 13 devices. Apple has claimed that Samsung’s infringement of its patents has resulted in a sales loss for the company for which it needs to get compensated. The iPad maker is claiming $380 million from Samsung for the patent infringement while Samsung is arguing $52 million would be a fair compensation.
Apple also claimed that the company would have sold more than 360,000 iPhones if Samsung wouldn’t have indulged into such patent infringement resulting in millions of dollars of losses.
Meanwhile, the Silicon Valley jury is expected to start deliberations on Tuesday after closing arguments and jury instructions in the Apple v. Samsung showdown’s latest chapter.
Last year, the court ordered Samsung to pay over $1 billion to Apple after the jury was convinced that Samsung copied some of Apple’s iPhone features, such as using fingers to pinch and zoom on the screen, along with design touches such as the phone’s flat, black glass screen.
However, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh ordered a retrial in March while revising the damages to just $400, concluding that the previous jury made some errors in its calculations.
The lawyers of both the companies will give closing arguments on Tuesday morning, sending the case to the eight-member jury. Around 90 minutes will be given to each side, then after a lunch break, the jury will begin its deliberations.
