The Federal Court of California
resolved to fine Samsung Electronics for violating 4 patents that belong
to Apple. In particular, the South-Korean manufacturer of computer
electronics will have to pay Apple $290,45 million dollars for using
some of the technologies used to create iPhones and iPads.
Still, Apple seems to be discontent
with the decision since the damage according to the initial claim ws
estimated at $379,8 million.
It should also be reminded that
Samsung was fined $1,05bn for violating Apple’s patents in August 2012.
Later, the decision was revised and the court has reduced the fine down
to $450 million.
The next hearings will take place in
March 2014. Meanwhile, the price of Apple’s stock is appreciating. The
