Apple is going to ask the court to triple the amount that Samsung company have to pay for violations of patents owned by Apple.
According to the nine members of the jury company Samsung intentionally copied iPhone and iPad, and broke five of the six patents that were on the case. Formulation, indicating the presence of intent, gives Apple the opportunity to request triple damages. Apple has decided to take the opportunity to file a petition at the next hearing, scheduled for 21 September.
If the request is granted by Apple, the amount in excess of $ 3 billion, will be the largest payment ever appointed in cases of patent infringement. It is approximately equal to 14% of total Samsung cash .
