Against the backdrop of the recent $120 million in damages awarded to Apple over Samsung's alleged patent-infringement earlier this month, Apple has filed a motion seeking a retrial and get a bigger compensation amount.

In its motion filed in the court on Friday, Apple has put forth an argument for a retrial on the damages amount. The $119.6 million judgment which Apple won against Samsung marks a very small damages award for the company, especially since it was seeking more than $2 billion in damages.

Other than a higher compensation, Apple is also seeking a permanent US sales ban against Samsung devices which have been found to violate Apple's patents, including the slide-to-unlock feature and data detectors.

The Samsung devices against which Apple has sought a permanent injunction include the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S III, Admire, and Stratosphere.

Along with the above-mentioned handsets, Apple is also seeking a ban on software and code which are capable of implementing the infringed features. Towards that end, Apple said in its court document that it will "suffer irreparable harm if Samsung continues its use of the Infringing Features."
