In a bid to resolve the Apple and Samsung face-off, a federal judge in the US has asked the world's largest smartphone makers to settle their differences.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh said she will issue rulings aimed at settling the legal battle between two technology giants.
Samsung is seeking a new trial or cutting the award by more than half that resulted from a lawsuit Apple filed in 2011. Apple was awarded a $1 billion jury verdict which the company won over Samsung in August.
Apple, on the other hand, is demanding an increase in the award.
