A new trial was ordered by U.S. judge Lucy Koh to decide how much Samsung Electronics Co. should Pay Apple Inc. for imitating the physical appearance of the iPhone.
The patents include iPhone design elements black rectangular front face, round corners, and a colorful grid of icons for apps and icons.
Apple called the trial unnecessary. They stated that the court should have confirmed the award, though they did immediately respond to requests for comments on Monday.
The U.S. supreme court set $ 399 million in favor of Apple 10 months ago. However, on Sunday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh issued a new trial. The parties were ordered to propose a schedule by October 25.
The legal battle began in 2011 when Apple sued Samsung for copyright infringement. This case has become one of the most watched patent cases in the U.S. court.
