Judge Koh Reduces Apple Damages Award; Orders New Trial on Damages re Certain Products in Apple v. Samsung ~pj Updated

Groklaw - Fri, 2013-03-01 21:16
I told you that the jury's damages award in Apple v. Samsung would not stand. And this isn't even the end, but Judge Lucy Koh has just ruled on both Apple and Samsung's motions on damages. The jury's award, she says, was excessive, being based on wrong theories. In some cases, she can't even figure out what they did, and so she has ordered a new trial on damages for certain products and has reduced the award on those she could figure out herself to $598,908,892: Apple's motion for an increase in the jury's damages award is DENIED. The Court declines to determine the amount of prejudgment interest or supplemental damages until after the appeals in this case are resolved.

Because the Court has identified an impermissible legal theory on which the jury based its award, and cannot reasonably calculate the amount of excess while effectuating the intent of the jury, the Court hereby ORDERS a new trial on damages for the following products: Galaxy Prevail, Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Galaxy SII AT&T, Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Transform. This amounts to $450,514,650 being stricken from the jury's award. The parties are encouraged to seek appellate review of this Order before any new trial.

The jury's award stands for the Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S (i9000), Galaxy S II i9100, Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi, Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE, Intercept, Fascinate, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II Showcase, Mesmerize, Vibrant, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, and Galaxy S II T-Mobile. The total award for these 14 products is $598,908,892. This jury goofed big time, more than Judge Koh has so far acknowledged, in my view, but this order absolutely states as clearly as words can achieve that their award was based on mistakes. I'll be curious to see what happens on appeal. And all the words spilled by Apple's lawyers and Apple supporters in the media on what a great job the jury did and how mean Groklaw was being to criticize the jury's verdict are now proven to be mistaken. And that's putting it nicely.

This jury goofed. The End. That's how it goes down in history. Because they did. And when you see something that you know is a mistake in a courtroom, you have a journalistic duty to call it like you see it, even if the whole world stands against you. That is what journalism is. And that is what Groklaw did. And now time has, once again, proven that Groklaw called it right.
