Apple ordered to pay Samsungs fees

Apple will have to pay all of Samsung's legal costs in a patent battle in the UK after being told for a second time to revise an apology published in the British press, Chosun Media reported.

Legal blog Groklaw said the Court of Appeal ordered Apple to pay Samsung's legal fees on an "indemnity basis" after the company "published a false and misleading notice in the wake of a patent lawsuit over the iPad",.

The court ruled that Apple should bear "every nickel and dime" of Samsung's legal fees, such as "parking, phone calls… from day one," IT news site the Verge said. "Unlike in the U.S., losers in legal cases in England and Wales are generally expected to pay the fees of their opponents, but the requirement to compensate Samsung on an indemnity basis adds an extra degree of censure to an already unusual judgment."
