This patent is a best seller Android Device maker Samsung vs. IPhone The manufacturer has played a key role in Apple’s historic billion-dollar trial. At the time, Apple sued rival Samsung for more than 20 smartphones and two tablets for bounce-back utility patent infringement.

However, despite receiving a “final rejection call” from the USPTO, Apple still has a legal way to go. However, it remains to be seen how much it will benefit or whether there will be any positive results for Apple at all.

In this case, the company will send their response to the recent decision of the patent office. If that doesn’t work (usually it doesn’t work) they will have a patent trial and appeal. If the results are not in Apple’s favor, the US Court of Appeals will have to file a complaint.

These processes are quite time consuming. But in the end, if Apple’s “bounce-back” patent remains invalid, the fine against Samsung could be further reduced in a billion-dollar trial. Because the compensation was determined after reviewing these issues.

According to the latest legal process, the amount of this compensation is 596 million US dollars. And the bounce-back patent issue has complicated the whole thing – though Samsung should be happy about it.
