Apple Wants Another $707 Million From Samsung, Total US Ban
Apple has filed a new motion asking for an extra $707 million dollars from Samsung in additional damages. The figure includes $400 million awarded for design infringement by Samsung, $135 million for willful infringement of its utility patents, $121 million in supplemental damages based on Samsung’s product sales not covered in the jury’s deliberation and $50 million of prejudgment interest on damages through December 31st for a total of $707 million.
Furthermore, Apple wants their new injunction request to cover “any of the infringing products or any other product with a feature or features not more than colorably different from any of the infringing feature or features in any of the Infringing Products.”
Such a band would likely include Samsung’s Galaxy S III smartphone and pretty much any other Samsung handset Apple could find hiding under a rock.
Samsung’s response to the new motion was continue asking for a new trial:
“The Court’s constraints on trial time, witnesses and exhibits were unprecedented for a patent case of this complexity and magnitude, and prevented Samsung from presenting a full and fair case in response to Apple’s many claims,” Samsung said.
“Samsung therefore respectfully requests that the Court grant a new trial enabling adequate time and even-handed treatment of the parties.”
One thing continues to remain clear, the Samsung/Apple feud is farm from over.

There will be no ban and no payment until another court decides on the validity of the patent. Various evidence was deemed inadmissable by Judge Lucy Koh which Samsung asserted was central to the validity of the patents.
As the jury were instructed to reach a verdict without considering the validity of the patents, the whole matter will have no go to another court in what is certain to be a protracted case.
