Samsung says it reserves the right to seek reimbursement, an assertion that didn’t sit well with Apple.
Samsung has already paid $548 million following a court ruling for infringement of Apple’s patents. Apple had asked the court to award it $2.75 billion in damages but was instead awarded a little over $1 billion.
Samsung and Apple are clearly trying to keep things moving along, but the war is far from over. According to Apple the South Korean company’s Android phones as “recent” as the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Epi 4G Touch and T-Mobile models, alongside the Droid Charge and the Galaxy Prevail have violated five of the patents Apple owned.
Tech giant Apple Inc. But it has nonetheless submitted an application to send the case straight to a higher court even if Apple’s fresh claim can be deemed a completely separate issue. These additional $180 million might be the reason Samsung might end up snapping major ties with Apple.
“The additional $180 million is based on a product-by-product calculation for five devices Samsung sold after a federal court jury in San Jose, California, found in August 2012 that the Galaxy maker had infringed Apple patents”, Bloomberg reported. The two actually went at it in court again over allegations of patent infringement in Samsung’s newer devices, but that didn’t make almost as much of a splash.

There were more than 40 patent lawsuits, which the two companies were involved in against each other. Apple’s iPhone and iPad screens and processors have often been the courtesy of Samsung in the past.
