A federal judge has rejected Apple's demand
to increase the $1.05 billion in damages a jury ordered Samsung to pay its
fiercest rival in the smartphone market.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh late Tuesday also rejected
demands from both companies to conduct another trial. Koh ruled that the San Jose
jury got it right in August when it found Samsung Electronics Inc. ripped off
technology Apple used to make the iPads and iPhones when it created 26 models
of smartphones and computer tablets.
The jury also found several other Samsung products didn't infringe
any of Apple Inc.'s patents.
The jury found that South Korean-based Samsung infringed six
patents and awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages.
The series of orders issued late Tuesday didn't address
Samsung's request to reduce the award.
