Jury hears that Apple should get $2.2 billion from Samsung

Mobile Minute:
The jury in the latest Apple/Samsung patent lawsuit has heard from an economist who says Samsung should pay Apple $2.2 billion for infringing the iPhone maker’s patents. That economist was of course hired by Apple to testify. He says he came up with that amount by calculating profits that Apple lost to Samsung as well patent royalties that Samsung should have been paying. Apple and Samsung are accusing one another of patent infringement in this case; each company asserts five patents. The case is being tried before Judge Lucy Koh, the same judge who oversaw the 2012 trial that ended up with a $1 billion dollar award for Apple. Judge Koh later reduced that amount to $600 million.
