Apple asks for additional $380 million in damages, Samsung willing to pay only $52 million

Apple and Samsung are at it again. Sparks are flying from both directions in a retrial that will decide how much damages Samsung will pay to the Cupertino company, over the $600 million that was earlier supposed to be awared to Apple. Apple is now demanding an additional $380 million in damages from Samsung, but Samsung says it should only have to pay $52 million.

Samsung is of the opinion that Apple is demanding more money than it is entitled to, and that customers didn't just buy Samsung devices because of the bounce-back and other features that infringed on Apple patents, but because of other factors including larger screens, removable batteries, 4G LTE connectivity, and more. The retrial is at an early stage at this time so it remains to be seen what additional damages Samsung will pay, but one thing is certain: Apple isn't going to back down, and neither is Samsung, so this case could go on for some time to come.

But hey, at this point, this is all part of the regular routine, right?
