Judge Sets Samsung Hearing for December


US District Court Judge Lucy Koh has set a 6 December hearing on punitive damages in the Apple-Samsung litigation over patent infringement, recently decided in favor of Apple. The jury in the case awarded $1.05 billion to Apple after finding that Samsung “willfully” infringed on six Apple patents. Koh could award triple damages because the infringement was deemed willful. At the 6 December hearing, Koh is also slated to decide whether to ban eight Samsung Galaxy and Droid phones from the US market based on the jury finding that they infringe upon Apple patents. The jury actually found that 28 Samsung devices violated six of Apple’s patents, but many are no longer on the market. Samsung has asked the court to dissolve a preliminary injunction on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer after the jury found it did not infringe on Apple’s iPad design patent. (AFP)(BBC)
