Apples fees charged to Samsung
No sooner had U.S. Judge Lucy Koh last Friday a relevant disclosure request from Samsung refused an Apple internal presentation has surfaced to the effect that would reconcile the company with business partners, in principle, 30 and 40 U.S. dollars in royalties per sold smartphone or tablet. Samsung's own suppliers to give Apple wanted a discount of 20 percent, provided that in return for Samsung waive claims of its own patents. Further discounts were provided for devices that fail to alleged Apple-specific features such as a touch screen or indirectly licensed by Apple's operating system how to use Microsoft Windows Mobile.
As the presentation points out, Apple's claims divided into three classes: the least demanding class falls under the so called phone license and includes features such as basic telephony functions, Java implementation, and various hardware components. The next level is smart and License to cover Apple's own computer technology, such as object-oriented programming and operating system. The senior class of claims is subject to the Advanced Mobile License and concerns about the use of touch screens, GUI loadable apps and music playback.
Samsung would have if it had accepted the deal in 2010, this year probably have to pay 250 million U.S. dollars to Apple, which now complains of damages in the amount of $ 2.5 billion. So the situation is at least based on the numbers that are now in the retinue of the process emerged. Higher would have been making payments to Apple of course based on their own by Samsung's Sales Information: The company had boasted namely in December 2010 sold a million Galaxy Tab tablets, while it was up to then bring into reality, apparently only about 340 000 pieces of the man .
Anyway: after a separate agreement made Samsung already pays royalties for each sold Android smartphone to Microsoft. The exact amount of such royalties is not publicly known, but before the agreement is signed with a window 10 to 15 U.S. dollars per unit.
