Apple v Samsung patent verdict reconsidered in court

Apple and Samsung return to a San Jose, California court later so a judge can review a jury's decision to award Apple $1.05bn (£652m) in damages.

The South Korean firm wants the patent verdict overturned, or the sum reduced, BBC reports.

By contrast, Apple is calling on the judge to increase the amount and ban some of its rival's handsets.

If Samsung does not get its way, it can still challenge the verdict in the US appellate court and the US Supreme Court.

The two tech giants' handsets account for about 44% of active US smartphones, according to a recent study by ComScore.
Apple has said that its success depends on it being able to protect its patents to offer "distinctive products that stand apart from the masses".

Samsung has warned that customers face "fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices" if it does not prevail.
