Five devices that Apple cited in the first patent infringement suit remained on sale after the verdict was reached. As a result, Apple wants to get paid for sales of those devices dating from the day after the first verdict was announced on August 24th 2012, to present. Apple took the amount of the verdict that each of the five devices was responsible for, and computed how much it should receive for each additional unit that was rung up after Judge Koh's gavel came down. After about $1 million in interest, the additional total that Apple is seeking from Samsung is $179 million. On Wednesday, Apple filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, asking it to force Samsung to pay them that amount.
