Koh had told both Apple and Samsung in August that their lawyers were filing an excessive amount of paperwork during Apple’s patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung, which was ultimately successful (CD Aug 28 p6). The documents were related to the sales ban Apple sought in the aftermath of the trial; Koh denied Apple’s request last month (CD Dec 19 p14). Apple had ignored Koh’s warnings in 10 of its documents, Koh said in the order, which completely removed four documents and major portions of another six.

Koh said in Monday’s order that she needs that data as she considers the final amount in damages Apple is entitled to receive. The jury had awarded Apple slightly more than $1 billion; Apple has since asked Koh to raise the damages by $500 million, while Samsung has said it wants damages reduced by $600 million.
