It seems like it will never end. Patent wars between Samsung and Apple are set to continue tomorrow, with the second trial between the two companies beginning tomorrow. The end of the first trial saw Apple winning $928.8 million from Samsung, which is $450 million less than the original amount. Both companies are appealing that decision.
This next trial will likely have more on the line because the devices involved will also include newer models. According to Apple, the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Tab 2 also violate five patents each. These patents include “slide-to-unlock” and universal search.
Apple did not get what they wanted after the first trial, even with the $928.8 million. What they were seeking was a permanent injunction against Samsung, preventing the company from selling products in the U.S. This trial will see Apple try again to get a sales ban. Samsung is also expected to call on Google executives to help discredit Apple’s claims.
