Samsung?wants a new trial.?Apple?is seeking an additional $707 million in damages and interest.

The two companies filed a blizzard of legal papers late Friday and early Saturday with their demands that a federal judge in San Jose significantly amend ? or toss out altogether ? the jury's Aug. 24 verdict.

The jury found that 26?Samsung?products ripped off?Apple's?technology at the heart of its iPhones and iPads.

U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh has scheduled a Dec. 6 hearing to discuss the myriad issues raised by both companies.?Samsung?says it will appeal if Koh turns down its demands.
