Apple now seeks ban of new Samsung devices

apple-vs-samsung1

Following its victory in court over Samsung, Apple is asking a federal court to add four more of its rival’s products to the list of patent-infringing products. The new products include Samsung’s latest smartphone, the Galaxy S III.

Apple filed documents in San Jose federal district court on Friday asking a judge to end Samsung’s release of “copycat products,” and urged the court to pull Samsung products released after its lawsuit was filed in April.

The company seeks the addition of Samsung’s Galaxy S III and its special Verizon edition, the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, and the Galaxy S II in both its basic and carrier-independent forms to the list of devices it wants federal court in California to ban.

Previously Apple had listed 17 Samsung products as patent violators, but the new filing lists 21. These included the Galaxy S II 4G, Galaxy S II (AT&T variant), Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S II (T-Mobile Variant), Galaxy S II Epic 4G (Sprint Variant), Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge, Galaxy Prevail.

After winning $1.05 billion from Samsung, what do you think? Is Apple taking its case against Samsung too far?

    Apple has a right to protect its patents, they are not big headed by any means! Samsung is GUILTY and the proof is in the $1.05 Billion dollars they are having to pay as a result of this! They would have been welcomed, I am sure with open arms, if they had done something original but obviously that is the furthest thing you can say about Samsungs smartphone market.

    Yes, I think Apple is getting too big headed.

    Let the customer decide by letting them purchase what they want.

    If Apple persist, I may forget about the new iPhone 5 and opt for the Galaxy S|||

    Strangling competition will reduce choices for the customer and keep prices high, and that’s NOT a good thing.

    No, they should sue any company that steals their stuff. That is the purpose of a patent.
