Directly from the file of a lawsuit filed by Apple against the Samsung company, we have a document in which the company from Cupertino says that the Asians owe him no less than 2.525 billion dollars following the infringement of some invention patents. Apple claims to have lost $500 million in profits due to patent infringement, $25 million in damages for the use of patented technologies, and $2 billion in damages that Samsung allegedly obtained illegally. by using these technologies.
Apple claims that Samsung became the largest smartphone manufacturer by stealing intellectual property and earned billions of dollars following these actions of copying its patented technologies. Based on these statements, the 2.525 billion dollars are requested from Samsung, but we all know that the chances of this amount being paid are very small. Even so, Apple claims that in order to patent its technologies, it would ask $24/terminal for design-related patents and $2/terminal for the patent describing a technology used in the iOS interface.
The company goes quite far with its claims saying that owners of Android terminals would be willing to pay $90-$100 higher prices for mobile terminals that would contain functions now available exclusively on the iOS platform. Of course, we are only talking about some estimates by Apple's lawyers who claim that Apple owes Samsung $0.0049 for each iDevice that infringes a FRAND patent, so a very small amount that is far from what Samsung requested through the courts.
Basically, Apple asks for a lot of money and makes statements that in the real world do not seem to be supported by anything, but this is mostly what lawyers do in court.
