Apple asked a judge to award an extra $535 million in its
U.S. patent case with Samsung Electronics Co. in addition to its requested permanent
injunction against sales of Samsung’s infringing products, those good folks at Bloomberg told us.
Cupertino, California-based Apple sued Samsung in April
2011, and Samsung countersued as part of a battle being waged on four
continents over a smartphone market valued by Bloomberg Industries at $219.1
billion. The companies have also sued each other in the U.K., Australia and
South Korea. In August, Apple won a jury
verdict of more than $1.05 billion against Samsung after a finding that Samsung
infringed six of seven patents for the mobile devices.
Apple is requesting an enhancement of $135 million under the
Patent Act and $400 million under the Lanham Act, for a combined total of $535
million, compared with $268 million from the verdict under both statutes, court
papers show….
