Samsung has asked a US appeals court to put away the order that the company pay $930 million to Apple for breaching iPhone patents to make its Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

Apple and Samsung have been litigating around the world for three years, both accusing each other for infringing patents to make smartphones and other mobile devices, reported the Verge.

In August, the companies agreed to withdraw all patent lawsuits everywhere except in the United States.

Apple's lawyer William Lee said that the $930 million verdict was the right decision.

The three judges on the panel did not say which company they supported or when they would rule in the case.
