Samsung ordered to pay $11.6 million in smartwatch dispute
A London High Court ordered Samsung Electronics to pay $11.6 million to Swatch Group for distributing copycat designs of the latter’s products for its smartwatch devices. Swiss-based Swatch Group owns watch brands including Breguet, Blancpain, Omega, Longines and Tissot. The watchmaker had sought about $170 million in damages. It argued against Samsung for permitting the operations of watch-face apps that copied its designs and trademarks through Samsung’s app store.
