Samsung proposes appeal in patent battle with Apple

Apple-vs-Samsung-lawsuit1Another day another patent battle. When this happens, Apple and Samsung are the first two that come to mind. Both company’s are known to have gone back and forth in the courts many times over the recent years. And those times aren’t near being over.

According to a new report on a modern case, Samsung isn’t willing to give up easily. Following the long dispute over one of Apple’s design patents, Samsung has decided to take the case to the courts.

On August 19, Samsung filed a report explaining it wants the US Supreme Court to hear its appeal. Samsung wants a decision by the summer of 2016 and is strongly encouraging a review. Recently, the company was able to have a $1 billion verdict reduced to only $548 million. And if the new court ruling favors Samsung, the company could potentially have its fine dropped an additional $400 million. Many companies are backing Samsung in this battle, but who knows, the court may not even agree to take the case. Only time will tell.
