there was a partial final judgement that samsung has to pay a certain amount, and were denied not having them pay.

so the statement is.

samsung forking over certain amount to apple apple receiving a certain amount. samsung still thinks it doesnt owe a cent(especially since atleast one patent has been invalidated already and possibly a 2nd one now) and says its owed the money back if they win appeal. likely taking to supreme court (requested whole trial reviews).

apple noted it doesnt think samsung should get any money back if the courts change their mind.

samsung paid while still saying they are in the right, i believe they "settled" to avoid any fines and continued device blocks.
