Bulgaria: Samsung Will Have to Pay Over Half Billion Dollars to Apple Digital Trends

South Korean giant Samsung must pay a $ 533m fine to its US rival Apple for copying the iPhone design. This was decided by a US court on the second instance after Apple won first in 2011 and then Samsung was ordered to pay a $ 400 million fine.

Three Apple patents related to the iPhone design are touched, according to BGS.

The South Korean company appealed, and so it came to a second case. At this second trial, Apple demanded a colossal amount of just over a billion dollars, but Samsung was willing to agree to indemnify its rival with just $ 28 million.

Samsung is no longer selling the controversial iPhone model but will have to give another $ 5 million to use the iPhone features.
