Apple has returned to its old ways in court, trying to get the federal appeals court to reconsider its verdict of $ 120 millones in favor of Samsung that lasts from 2014 .
At this time, Apple has two patent cases with different issues at different stages in the American judicial system, with this one in particular dealing with three different patents, and one whose verdict is $ 120 million in favor of Samsung, which the company won in February of this year. However, according to a report published by Reuters, that decision has led Apple to an interesting place in this process.
In a request for a rehearing filed last Monday with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit by Apple attorney William Lee, the company said the materials being investigated, They were not part of the lower court record to overturn the infringement verdict. This seventh amendment gives Apple the right to have a jury, and not a court, to decide the facts of the case, the company said.
Apple is arguing that while judges have the right to revoke a case based on the evidence presented in the original case, they cannot reach the same decision if the new information comes after the fact. In that case, the 7th amendment to the company: The right to a trial by jury.
Apple believes that with the new evidence that was introduced at trial, a new trial should have been launched to correctly introduce such evidence in front of a jury, and maybe even more than that, so Apple could argue against it.
