Apple and Samsung are confronting each other in a California court for a third trial including a similar arrangement of five licenses.
Apple was initially granted $1.05bn (£772m) in 2012 after a jury found the South Korean firm had encroached a few of the iPhone's advancements.
That aggregate was diminished to about $400m after the main retrial and other legitimate endeavors by the System cell phone producer.
In any case, a crisp hearing wound up essential after a Preeminent Court administering on how the punishments were ascertained.
Retrial judge Lucy Koh, who additionally sat in the principal case, has said she means to apply a "Groundhog Day" run the show.
This reference to the 1993 motion picture, in which daily rehashes itself, confines the two organizations to reiterating the confirmation they displayed before as opposed to presenting new actualities.
The judge has made reference to a 1990s satire
Hearers should likewise adhere to the past judgment that Samsung replicated three plan licenses concerning the look of the first iPhone, and two utility licenses including its squeeze to-zoom highlight and bob back looking over impact.
They may, in any case, choose to settle on an alternate honor, in light of the reality the Incomparable Court has given them more scope.
Neither Apple nor Samsung gave remark when inquired.
What is an outline patent?

The unbroken lines in this illustration of the iPhone speak to the highlights asserted by the outline patent
A plan patent is a 15-year enlisted restraining infrastructure right, which depicts another, unique and fancy outline for a made protest.
They are called "enrolled plans" in Europe and most parts of the world, yet "outline licenses" in the US.
In the present case, Samsung was discovered liable of encroaching three outline licenses.
Two concern the front and back look of the first iPhone's body.
The third covers the graphical UI demonstrating the design of applications on its homescreen.
Outline quandary
The retrial focuses on a few handsets that are never again sold by Samsung, including the Droid Charge, Hypnotize and World S2.
Samsung had protested the extent of the plan patent bit of the current punishment, which had been controlled by how much benefit it had produced using offering the handsets.
It contended that shoppers had not purchased the telephones for their feel alone, but rather likewise their usefulness.
All things considered, it stated, the sum ought to have been constrained to the estimation of the culpable parts and not the entire gadgets.
In December 2016, eight Preeminent Court judges favored its contention, and decided that it wasn't right that lower courts ought to dependably consider the "applicable article of make" in such cases to be the finished result sold to shoppers.
Rather, the judges consistently chose that a honor could be construct exclusively in light of the estimation of the segments included.
Be that as it may, the judges did not set out how this ought to be connected practically speaking.
Rather, they alluded the issue back to the government court.
Accordingly, the California jury will in any case need to figure out what was the "significant article of make" for this situation - the entire encroaching cell phones or only a portion of their parts.
Apple may state it should in any case be the previous in this debate, contending that the telephones would have had no an incentive without the plans of their bodies and UI.
Whatever the decision, it is probably going to set a point of reference for different US-based patent debate.
