Apple set for replay against Samsung in court

Apple is set for a replay of a court fight against Samsung in which the iPhone maker may seek to recoup more than the $411m (€305m) in damages a judge cut from a $1.05bn jury award in 2012 over patents.

Jury selection was under way yesterday in San Jose, California, in a retrial over how much Samsung should pay for infringement of Apple’s intellectual property.

The original verdict in Aug 2012, which was the year’s largest in the US at the time, was found by a judge to be flawed because jurors miscalculated the period that the infringement occurred for some of the 28 Samsung devices on trial.
