The typically cagey company has offered a glimpse into its books as it fights to get Samsung on the hook for a portion of its attorney fees. In a motion filed Thursday evening, Apple lawyer Rachel Krevans of Morrison & Foerster told U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose that Samsung should have to fork over $15.7 million to compensate Apple. The Cupertino-based company is entitled to that “eminently reasonable” award for attorney fees because Samsung strategically copied the iPhone and a 2012 jury found that the infringement was willful, Krevans argued.
“Given Samsung’s blatant disregard of Apple’s IP rights, Apple should not be forced to bear the full expense of prosecuting its claims,” she wrote.
