Samsung's move to secure a new trial for part of the damages it owes Apple could lead to Apple netting an even higher judgement than the $1.05 billion it already won, as the South Korean conglomerate admitted in a court filing on Friday.
Following Judge Lucy Koh's decision to vacate more than 40 percent of the initial $1.05 billion judgment against Samsung due to improper assignment of damages for some devices, Samsung has been pushing for a wholly new trial for the vacated figure.
Samsung's argument is that the matter is not so simple as having a new jury decide on a damages figure. The new jury, Samsung argues, must reconsider whether the 14 products included in the vacated sum actually infringe on Apple's patents.
On Saturday, FOSS Patents's Florian Mueller pointed out a Samsung filing from Friday. In the late-Friday filing, Samsung notes that "Apple can seek even more damages on these products in the new trial," should the court agree to a full retrial for the affected products.
The acknowledgement of potentially higher damages came in a reply brief meant to bolster its move for a partial final judgment and a stay pending appeal of that partial judgment. The filing also addressed Apple's recent filing pointing out a possible $85 million court error in vacating damages for the Galaxy S II AT&T and Infuse 4G.

I don't think the fact that Apple could get [B]even more[/B] damages than it originally did was ever in dispute. It's been that way since day one. I personally think there's a distinct danger that's exactly what will happen too. http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/156258/judge-vacates-40-of-jurys-1-05b-verdict-in-apple-v-samsung-u#post_2286370
A Samescum story on AI and guess who's the first to post. *sigh*. If the fans left, and the trolls were the only ones here, would the mods notice?
A petition to rid the site of trolls has been set up. Please vote if you are just sick and tired of the blatant highjacking by those anti Apple frequent flyers.

I thought you had retired after being outed by JRagosta? EDIT: Nevermind. I had confused you with someone else. My apologies.

What in GG's post (which simply agreed that a higher award was always a chance) did you think was trollish?

Kr00 makes a valid point, what will be left of AI when only the likes of you, KD, macrulze and the other liars are left? I'm waiting for the follow up postings from you as you sledge Apple, you start in a nice way but soon lose it with your hatred for all things Apple. Your mo is most obvious, try a little harder boy.
