Apple Wants Another $707 Million from Samsung
Apple and Samsung are back for another round.
Back in August, a jury came out in favor of Apple in a parent suit against Samsung. The Cupertino-based company was awarded $1.051 billion USD in damages for its troubles. Seven Apple patents total spanning physical and software were in question, including pinch-to-zoom and 'bounce back' (the visual effect when you scroll to the bottom of a list). However, it seems this verdict isn't enough for Apple.
Reuters reports that the Cupertino-based company has filed a court order requesting a U.S. sales ban on infringing Samsung products as well as an additional $707 million in damages on top of the billion-dollar verdict handed down in August. According to Reuters, Apple is hoping the court order will cover not only infringing products but any other products with features that closely resemble infringing features present in infringing products. Apple's court order, which was filed late on Friday, includes $400 million in damages for design infringement, $135 million for willful infringement of its utility patents, $121 million for supplemental damages based on Samsung product sales not covered in the jury's deliberation, and $50 million in prejudgment interest on damages through December 31.
Samsung has responded to the suit with a request for a brand new trial, claiming a lack of time and a complicated case prevented the South Korean company from receiving a fair trial.

every iphone 5 user will silently know what a piece of crap he bought, and by the time iphone 6 comes around, apple will start it's downfall!
I can understand why Apple are going after Samsung so hard, half of it's profits come from the iphone alone so it's understandable that the directors feel threatened and insecure by Samsung's success.
What really gets me thought is the seeming lack of honesty and integrity in the court system in both America and Korea (I live in neither country). I get the feeling that a major contributing factor to Apple's successful court win was the fact that their an America firm fighting foreign opposition and vice versa for Samsung's victory in the Korean court.
What ever led you to believe there was any integrity in the US court system? That system has been broken for decades.
I think it's a dangerous step to even consider damages on "closely-resembling features" when some evidence--which legitimately invalidates some claims IMHO--was not gotten into the original trial for whatever reasons (but could be presented during the appeals?). And if Apple wants to sue for "closely-resembling features," then why not sue Apple over the already-established pinch-to-zoom/view feature that was established far before iOS?

MS has never been this bad as far as I can remember.

You are aware that South Korea found both companies guilty and banned sales of devices from both, right?

As an American, I agree about Apple's win here. It was despicable. So many things should have been done way differently in the court, but that doesn't apply to Korea's courts like you say it does.
