Representatives for Samsung and Apple could not immediately be reached for comment. The appeal stems from a May 2014 verdict from a federal court in San Jose, California, which ordered Samsung to pay $119.6 million for using the Apple features without permission. The jury had also found that Apple infringed a Samsung patent on digital photo technology and awarded $158,400 in damages. The two companies have been battling over mobile device technology patents for years, with Apple mostly prevailing. In December, Samsung paid Apple $548.2 million stemming from a separate patent case.
