The amount requested by Apple during opening arguments in a damages retrial is less than the $450 million awarded by a jury last year. And Samsung's proposal is much lower.
An Apple attorney told a jury on Wednesday that the company wants an additional $380 million in damages from Samsung's patent infringement, but Samsung says it should only have to pay $52 million.
The figures come on top of the $600 million Samsung already has to pay after a judge vacated about $450 million of the original award.
Apple attorney Harold McElhinny and Samsung attorney Bill Price made the comments during opening statements here at a retrial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. A new jury of eight people has been assembled to determine how much more Samsung owes Apple for infringing on five patents related to the iPhone's design and functionality.
"We will hear a lot from Samsung, saying no one would have purchased Apple products," McElhinny said. "But in its heart, Samsung knew it was a two-horse race."
He pointed to an internal Samsung document as "conclusive evidence Apple lost sales because of Samsung."
