Judge rebukes Apple for invoking nationalist bias but denies Samsung a retrial |
February 08, 2014
A U.S. judge has denied Samsung’s request for a retrial in a patent dispute with Apple, but she also chastised Apple’s lawyers for making the Korean firm’s “foreignness” an issue in closing remarks to the jury.The order from Judge Lucy Koh late Friday means a damages award against Samsung of $290 million still stands. But she clearly took issue with the way Apple summed up its case to the jury, saying it suggested an “American-versus-non-American theme.”The case at the District Court in San Jose, California, is the one in which Apple was initially awarded just over a billion dollars in damages in August 2012. Koh struck down $410 million of the award, partly because the jury hadn’t calculated it properly, and ordered a new trial to determine the correct damages.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
