- The U.S. Department of Justice recommends against the Supreme Court reviewing a 2014 patent infringement case between Samsung (KS:005930) (OTC:SSNNF, OTC:SSNLF) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), according to CNET.
- The 2014 verdict awarded Apple nearly $120M for Samsung’s infringement on data detector and “slide to unlock” patents.
- Samsung appealed and had the fine overturned but a review reversed that decision and the court wouldn’t hear a second appeal.
- Samsung asked the Supreme Court to look at the case in March of this year. Apple responded in May with an argument that the Court doesn’t need to do a review. The DOJ has now sided with Apple.
- In more good news for Apple, the Watch Nike+ Series 3 models are now in stores and pair well with yesterday’s software update to fix the LTE connectivity issues.
- Apple shares are up 1.18%.
