In August 2012, a jury found Samsung guilty and it was awarded one of the largest payouts of its kind on record. Yes the agreement on the  pay-out was reached outside court
The $1bn awarded in damages were seen as a massive victory for Apple and its just one of many patent cases the two companies are fighting in courtrooms across the world.
In March 2013, a judge re-examined the $1bn awarded to Apple and reduced the amount saying the damages would need to be assessed at a new trial.

The original jury in the court in California had incorrectly calculated part of the damages.
The judge said that $550m of the award had been worked out in the proper manner but she ordered that the remaining $450m be reassessed.

That $450m could be increased or lowered meaning that Apple could conceivably end up with more than the original $1bn awarded at the first trial.
Apple had originally sought $2.5bn in damages from Samsung but $1 billion was agreed.
