Samsung Electronics Co. was rebuffed in its request for reconsideration of whether it infringed Apple Inc.’s patented designs for smartphones.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington on Thursday denied a petition for a rehearing in the case, which was originally decided in May. A three-judge panel at that time upheld about $548 million worth of damages won by the iPhone maker. The case will now be sent back to the trial court in California to see the full amount Samsung will have to pay.
