Apple is now seeking $ 2.2 billion to Samsung

The new U.S. trial between Apple and Samsung in full swing in San Jose, and Cupertino has revealed its intentions: it now requires 2.2 billion in damages to his opponent.

Apple Samsung As alleged, the second major trial between Apple American South Korean displays larger than the first business issues, dated August 2012. The Cupertino company is now requesting $ 2.2 billion in damages to Samsung for violating five of its patents in its handsets sold since 2011.

This request is based on the fact that, according to one of Apple experts Christopher Vellturo, Samsung had sold 37 million smartphones and tablets between August 2011 and the end of 2013.

Among them are, in particular the Galaxy S2, the Galaxy S3 or the Galaxy Tab II 10.1.

As a reminder, Samsung has been ordered to pay 927.9 million dollars in damages in the previous case against Apple. An appeal procedure is however still ongoing.
