10. $1 Billion Wasn't Enough for Apple in Samsung Case

Connor Simpson, editor of the Atlantic, claims that Apple, still not satisfied with the $1 Billion won from Samsung, requested a reconsidering in ruling to gain another $707 million, while Samsung requested a completely new trial. Simpson reports that Apple has requested the increase based on the design and performances of the early Galaxy S models. He implies Apple's illiberality in the issue by using such statements as "[Apple's] kill list of Samsung products." Samsung, however, claims that the amount of damages inflicted on Apple was miscalculated and was judged unfairly. Their lawyers assert that "it is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners." Simpson illustrates the victimized view of Samsung by citing the disadvantages they had in the trials like the "constraints on time, witnesses and exhibits." He also portrayed the logical reasoning of the unfairness of Samsung's judgement, including Apple being given "monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners."

Simpson reports these updates on the Apple vs Samsung issue to the general audience interested in the technologies and the products of these companies. He presents this article to report the recent actions by the companies and to imply that Samsung had lost unfairly while Apple seems still unsatisfied with being awarded 1 billion dollars.
