The ongoing patent battle between Apple and Samsung is set to resume in a US federal court tomorrow with both the companies trying hard to emerge victorious out of this important legal tussle.
"The parties tried hard to accuse each other's latest and greatest products, but US patent litigation is slow, which is why this 2014 trial will be about 2012 and pre-2012 products," intellectual property analyst Florian Mueller said in a post at website fosspatents.com.
Apple vs Samsung patent battle will be going once again before District Court Judge Lucy Koh in the California city of San Jose. Koh led a trial in 2013 at the end of which it was ruled that Samsung will have to pay over a billion dollars in damages for infringing Apple?s patents.
The jury later reduced the penalty to $929 million but Samsung appealed the verdict.
Experts maintain that Samsung will lose more if the new tr ial also rules in Apple's favor, because in the latest Apple has accused Samsung of infringing its patents in its better-selling devices built with Google-backed Android software.
"Both in the United States and globally, Apple and Samsung have established themselves as fierce competitors in the smartphone market and fierce adversaries in the courtroom," Koh said during rulings on injunctions, testimony and other matters before the trial.
Koh had asked the senior officials of both the companies to reach an out of court settlement but talks failed to yield any results.
Apple sued the South Korean consumer electronics giant in February 2012 as "one action in a worldwide constellation of litigation between the two companies," the judge said in a ruling.
