Despite the fact that patent lawsuit against Samsung in the end, Apple managed to win, the Korean manufacturer did not lose hope to reduce the amount of the penalty. Samsung has managed to reduce the penalty from 930 to 548 million. Now Koreans hurry to help Google, Facebook, Dell, HP, eBay and other giants of Silicon valley.

They argue that the first court decision regarding the patent can destroy the high-tech industry and have a negative impact on innovation. The three patents that violated Samsung, related user interface elements. And therefore to impose a fine on all the profits of the company with these devices is the wrong decision. The penalty to be imposed on profits derived from these violations, and not on the whole device.

According to the initiative group of IT companies, the smartphone is a complex product, which includes thousands of software and hardware solutions, each of which can have a trial. And any little element can void the manufacturer of the profits he received from the creation of a comprehensive and innovative product.
