After prevailing in a $4 billion patent infringement lawsuit centered on two semiconductor patents, Samsung has submitted a motion seeking reimbursement to the tune of $6.7 million for attorneys’ fees incurred during the lawsuit. In the unsealed motion that was made accessible on Friday, Samsung rationalizes its request on the grounds of the patent holder’s “exceptional misconduct” over the course of the legal proceedings. The reigning tech conglomerate appealed to U.S. District Judge Alan Albright for the requested award.
According to the original motion, Samsung substantiates the appeal for reimbursement based on the extraordinary conduct of the patent holder during the course of the litigation. Further details on the specifics of the alleged misconduct, however, remain undisclosed in the motion.
