According to Bloomberg News, Apple earlier filed a lawsuit against Samsung for its “sliding and unlocking†patent. The verdict on Monday restored Samsung’s original claim of compensation of USD 119.6 million to Apple. The reason was that the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit dismissed the verdict in February, and Apple finally won the appeal.
In this case, Apple accused Samsung of infringing on its "slide-unlocking" patent, automatic error correction, and a patent for detecting cell phone numbers. Among them, most of the compensation ($98.7 million) was for mobile phone number detection patents, after Samsung was ruled not to infringe the patent. In addition, the United States Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in February that the other two patents were invalid, but this week’s decision was based on information that had not previously been raised on the appeal or other than the court record and judged it as a wrong decision.
In the latest version of the iOS 10 operating system, Apple no longer uses the "slide unlock" feature, but instead lets users "press the Home button" to unlock the phone.
Another high-profile lawsuit between Apple and Samsung will continue to be tried in the U.S. Supreme Court next week. According to Bloomberg, the outcome of the case will determine how much compensation Samsung will pay Apple for infringing iPhone design patents.
