Apple and Samsung Tangle on Damages and Juror
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 7, 2012 20:10
Samsung and Apple lawyers butted heads over the more than $1 billion in damages that a federal jury awarded Apple in August, but the judge in the case issued no new rulings in the case.
Samsung lawyers spent hours dissecting how the jury arrived at the enormous damages award, one of the biggest ever in a patent case, arguing that figure was excessive. Apple, for its part, asked Judge Lucy Koh for injunctions that would prevent Samsung from selling various products that were found by the jury to have infringed on Apple patents.
The most heated portion of the hearing was over Velvin Hogan, the jury foreman in the trial, whom Samsung has accused of misconduct for not revealing before the trial that he was involved in a lawsuit against Seagate, a disk drive maker with which Samsung has a partnership.
Mr. Hogan didn’t respond to a call for comment.
