A new trial between Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), si Samsung is currently taking place in the USA, the American company demanding 2.2 billion dollars as compensation for alleged infringements of its invention patents. If you've ever wondered how Apple calculated the damages of 2.2 billion dollars demanded from the Koreans, well two experts from Cupertino they explained everything in court. expert Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and Chris Vellturo, an MIT economist, claim that the amount was calculated for the period between August 2011 and December 2013, the period in which Samsung has sold multiple products that would infringe on its patents Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
The largest part of Apple's estimate is based on the calculation of the potential profit lost due to the sale of competing products with similar functions, the other part being calculated based on the money that Samsung would have paid if it had licensed the technologies from Apple. After nearly 5000 hours of work to analyze the market and consumer trends, plus a study conducted on 1000 people, Apple found out that users pay between $32 and $102 for the technologies patented by it.
Analyzing all this information, Apple arrived at an amount that is considered to be exaggerated by those from Samsung, but their statements are perfectly normal. In 2011, Apple demanded over 2.5 billion dollars in damages from the Samsung company and in the end received a little over 900 million dollars, so in this case it could receive less than 1 billion dollars after 2 more years of lawsuits in the USA.
