"The Case “12/06/16 - Samsung Electronics Co. v. Apple Inc.” is the Recent Case that Ihave chosen to deal with in this discussion. The petitioner in this case was Samsung ElectronicsCo. Ltd and the Respondent was Apple.Inc (Court, 2016). The case filed by Apple Inc. wasregarding the issue that some of its elements of design in the handsets were extracted bySamsung and used on their phones as well. According to the jury’s verdict Samsung would haveto compensate by paying an amount of $1 billion to Apple. Inc. (Court, 2016). The court however did authorize a partial retrial as well since that would make up for theperiod when Samsung was not acknowledged about the patents that the cell phones were Thedistrict court ordered a partial retrial on the issue of damages because some damages had beenawarded for a period in which Samsung did not have notice of some of the asserted patents(Court, 2016). Thus a second trial led the jury to grant a further compensation of $300 million toApple Inc. The attorney from Samsung’s half further argued that the court had devised thecompensation amount based on the wholesome profit earned by Samsung and not the amount ofprofit that the company earned on the infringed products (Court, 2016). The U.S Court alongwith the federal government permitted the compensation as Samsung could not provide anyvalued evidenced to prove their point. In cases where the assumption of the amount of damage caused owing to unpermittedinfringement is done through calculation of the state of these products and if they are finishedproducts or constituent of another finished product. According to the verdict by JusticeSotomayor the infringed products were both used as part of a finished product and a finishedproduct by Samsung (Politic, 2016). And this thus does not rule out the fact that Samsung had earned revenue out of both these cases. Thus this being the reason the abdication of the court inincreasing the compensation amount and drawing it from the gross profits made by Samsung isfair and logical.(Politic, 2016)ReferencesCourt, S.
