Samsung To Pay Apple $548m

It's a dream for many to own Apple's iPhone. Few people even attempted to sell their organs to get their hands on the latest Apple iPhone 6s; such is the craze for the Apple gadgets. It is not possible to send any Apple application to other brand mobiles. But, now we can see most of the Apple created Apps in Samsung and other competitive mobiles.

Apple filed suit against Samsung in April 2011, accusing its rival of copying the look and feel of its iPhones and iPads. Samsung countersued, and the case went to trial in August 2012. A nine-person jury sided with Apple on a majority of its patent violation claims against Samsung.

Freshly, California court revealed that Samsung had agreed to pay Apple $548m (£362m) within 10 days of receiving an invoice. Earlier, Samsung was supposed to pay $930m- a $548m chunk for technology patents and a $382m chunk for allegations that Samsung copied Apple's packaging materials. The jury will decide on the second damages award in 2016.

Some experts say that, whatever the amount Apple getting after ages of arguments is noteworthy. But, it appears like; both Samsung and Apple are not interested to leave the disputes here.
