US court ordered Samsung to pay $119.6m to Apple for patent infringement, as reported by BBC.
California jury delivered the verdict on Friday in the lawsuit that involves two of the biggest tech companies in the world.
Apple accused Samsung of infringing 5 patents that covered various functions one of which being “slide to unlock” feature, and was asking for $2.2bn.
In its turn, Samsung claimed not guilty and sought $6m claiming that Apple in its turn infringed 2 of Samsung’s patents dealing with the use of camera and the transmission of video.
According to the court, Samsung’s patents were also infringed by Apple and the latter had to pay $158,000 in damages.
This has been so far the largest legal battle between two tech giants, that have already been fighting for years across the world.
Two years ago in a different court decision Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $930m when the court learned that it used some of the Apple technology.
The verdict is still challenged by Samsung.
