Apple Has Spent More Than $100 Million Suing Android Manufacturers

Posted by Unknown on from the saved-three-iphone-sales dept.

Diggester writes with an excerpt from an article at Gizmocrazed about the absurd amount of money Apple has spent suing HTC et al: "The never-ending war on Android has cost Apple more than $100 million, according to latest estimates. While a huge chunk of that money was spent (read wasted) in claims against HTC. So far, 84 claims have been filed against different Android manufacturers (HTC, Samsung, etc.) for patent infringements, out of which only 10 were proved to have been infringed and only one ruling has gone in Apple's favor."

    Question is - how much money did they won from that one ruling in favor ?

    As the case wasn't tried in South Korea, I think the award was probably in dollars.

    $100 million down, $39.9 billion to go.
