A federal jury found Thursday that Samsung should pay Apple $290 million in damages after a patent dispute about technology in phones and tablets, USA TODAY reported.
The civil suit centered around technology used in iPhones and iPads had Apple looking for even more money--$380 million, to be exact. Samsung countered that it should only pay $52 million for using Apple's "pinch to zoom" and other features.
The jury's decision came after deliberations that began on Tuesday. Following the closing arguments, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh gave juror instructions in the San Jose courtroom.
The two tech giants are battling in worldwide patent litigation suits that span multiple courts. In 2012, Apple was awarded more than $1 billion after a jury found that Samsung had infringed its patents in 26 products. The decision was later amended when Koh ruled that the jury had miscalculated damages for 13 products.
Apple had another victory earlier this week when the U.S. Federal Circuit of Appeals in Washington, D.C., ordered Koh to reevaluate Apple's demands that some of the products found to be infringing on their copyrights be banned for sale in the U.S.
In December, Koh denied Apple's attempts, ruling that the company hadn't proven that shoppers purchased Samsung devices instead of Apple's due to the patent infringement.
Another trial in March will determine if current Samsung devices are infringing on patents shielding the iPhone and iPad, as Apple claims.
The litigations come in an important year for Apple, which released the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with retina display this year. The company posted a record quarter earlier this month boosted by sales of the last models.
