Samsung refuses to pay $ 539 million to Apple for copying the iPhone

Apple's lawsuit against Samsung for copying iPhone design reopened

The battle continues and now after a few days in which we have heard again about the trial between Apple and Samsung for the lawsuit about the copy of the South Koreans with the Galaxy models, appears the refusal of payment of the 539 million dollars of compensation by Samsung.

So this more than being close to coming to an end, it is closer to continuing for a while in the front line. The South Korean company is not willing to assume this amount of money to compensate the damages, for which it is denounced and They have requested the revision of the sanction with the refusal of the payment of this sum of money.

The battle continues between both companies

They have been with this lawsuit for more than 7 years and it seems that they will not remain "as friends" despite the fact that Apple and Samsung had not been protagonists of the judicial battles that we lived a few years ago especially in the time of Jobs. In this case, Samsung ensures that the copy of its Galaxy model is not as obvious as it seems and they reduce the amount that they would have to pay to an amount that we do not think Apple likes, about $ 30 million.

This new pulse in the judicial process speaks of the «copy» of specific components and not of the iPhone in general, so they do not believe that the enormous sanction imposed is fair, instead Apple is very clear that the first Samsung Galaxy models are a copy of the first iPhone. In any case, it is important to say that Apple filed the complaint due to the reasonable similarity of the Galaxy in general, both in the design and in the position of the apps and others. So it seems that the litigation between the two will be intense this summer.
