Apple wants Samsung to pay $22 million for legal bills
The money sought in documents filed Thursday would be in addition to the $930 million in damages that juries decided Samsung owes Apple after hearing evidence of patent infringement in two separate trials held in a San Jose, Calif., federal court during the past 15 months. The latest verdict was handed down last month.
Lawyers for both Apple and Samsung Electronics figure to make millions of dollars more from the skirmishing between the leading makers of smartphones. Samsung has vowed to appeal the damages that the juries awarded Apple, and another patent infringement trial involving more recent models of the companies' mobile devices is scheduled for next year.

Hefty damages
Apple is asking U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh to order Samsung to
pay $15.7 million in attorney fees. That would cover less than one-third
of the more than $60 million that Apple says it owes its lawyers in the
case. Apple also wants Samsung to reimburse its lawyers for $6.2
million in various expenses. A January 30 hearing has been scheduled to
examine Apple's requests.
