The U.S. Supreme Court has reportedly rejected a request by Samsung Electronics to re-evaluate a 120 million-dollar award granted to Apple in a patent infringement dispute.
 
According to the Associated Press and other foreign media on Monday, the justices refused to hear Samsung's appeal of a 2014 lower court ruling that awarded Apple about 120 million dollars for Samsung's patent infringement.
 
The case in question involved several patents tied to quick-link, slide-to-unlock and autocorrect features.
 
A three-judge panel of the Federal Court in Washington had sided with Samsung and thrown out the 2014 verdict in February 2016, but it was reinstated in October of that year by a full slate of eleven judges on that court.
 
In March, Samsung filed an appeal to the Supreme Court to protest the ruling.
