Apple wants $3B in damages from Samsung, says report

Apple will reportedly request $3 billion in damages from Samsung for patent infringement, triple the amount initially awarded by the court.

Attorneys for Apple plan to ask U.S. Federal Judge Lucy Koh to order Samsung to pay $3 billion after losing the recent patent suit between the two companies, reports the Korea Times. A hearing was supposed to be scheduled for this coming Friday in which Apple would argue its case.

In seeking triple the amount in damages, Apple will likely rely on a jury decision that found Samsung guilty of "willfull infringement" on five of the six patents in question. This decision meant the jury felt that Samsung knowingly violated Apple's patents.

"By using that condition, Apple has decided to request the judge to order Samsung to pay more than $3 billion in the hearing on the San Jose verdict on Sept. 21 in California," a senior legal executive told the Korea Times.

The August 24 jury verdict found in favor of Apple in virtually of the decisions, awarding Apple damages of $1.05 billion. However, Samsung continues to face other challenges.

On Monday, Judge Koh denied Samsung's request to overturn a three-month-old U.S. ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. But Judge Koh cited a lack of jurisdiction in her ruling, meaning a permanent decision is still up in the air.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 was hit with a preliminary sales ban in June. A stipulation was added that the ban could be reversed if the jury found that Samsung did not infringe on Apple's Apple's D'889 tablet design patent. And that's exactly what the jury found last month. As a result, Samsung has argued that the ban should be removed.

CNET contacted both Apple and Samsung for comment and will update the story if we receive further information.
