After two jury trials and counting, Apple Inc.’s hard-fought patent spat with Samsung has yielded about $930 million in damages for Apple, and a handsome $60 million in fees for its lawyers at Morrison & Foerster.
The tight-lipped company offered details when it filed a motion in December attempting to force Samsung to pay a portion. In the filing, Morrison & Foerster’s Rachel Krevans told U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh that Samsung should fork over $15.7 million. The Cupertino, Calif.–based company is entitled to that “eminently reasonable” award for attorney fees because Samsung copied the iPhone and in 2012 a jury found the infringement willful, Krevans argued.
