Today is the last day for Samsung to include the settlement with Neonode in their books for Q2. And tomorrow is the first day they could include it in Q3. Both days seems like viable options, depending on Samsungs’s preference. When will the final settlement be announced?

Some have argued that a jury would never award damages as high as $2/unit for infringing a single patent. However, this is not true! As a jury in 2014 awarded Apple (v. Samsung) per-unit damages of $2.75, $2.30, and $1.41 on 3 patents—roughly $3.7, $3.1, and $1.9 in 2025 dollars.
