Judge slashes Samsung damages to Apple by US$450 million

New trial possible after US$450m slashed from jury's award in patent infringement case

Apple accused Samsung of massive and wilful copying of its designs and technology for smartphones, including some models of the Galaxy SII.

A judge on Friday cut US$450 million from a US$1 billion award to be paid by Samsung in a landmark patent lawsuit from Apple, saying a jury had wrongly calculated the damages.

US District Judge Lucy Koh affirmed the remainder of the award, amounting to US$598.9 million, in the patent infringement case, while denying Apple's request for a bigger penalty.
