Samsung ordered to pay $539m for copying iPhone features
Tehran (KNA) - Apple has been awarded damages of $539m (£402.7m) in its long-running legal dispute with rival Samsung.
A jury, which deliberated for almost five days, backed Apple's claim that Samsung had copied some of its technology used to power the iPhone.
It's the latest verdict in a legal battle that began in 2011. Initially, Apple was seeking $2.5bn (£1.87bn) but was awarded about $1bn (£750m) by a jury in 2012.
An appeal court determined Apple could not legally lay claim to the iPhone's appearance. That meant Samsung was asked to pay about $548m (£328m).
