Apple Samsung lawsuit: six more products under scrutiny

Apple has added six more Samsung products, including the Galaxy Note II, to its patent lawsuit against the company.




Documents filed to the San Jose federal court in California on November 23 list six Samsung products running the "Jelly Bean" and "Ice Cream Sandwich" operating systems, which Apple claims infringe its patents.
The six phones and tablets affected are the Galaxy S III, running the new Jelly Bean system, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wifi tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Rugby Pro and Galaxy S III mini.
Apple stated it had “acted quickly and diligently" in order to "determine that these newly released products do infringe many of the same claims already asserted by Apple."
In August, Samsung lost a US patent case to Apple and was ordered to pay its rival $1.05bn (£0.66bn) in damages for copying features of the iPad and iPhone in its Galaxy range of devices. Samsung, which is the world's top mobile phone maker, is appealing the ruling.
A similar case in the UK found in Samsung's favour and ordered Apple to publish an apology making clear that the South Korean firm had not copied its iPad when designing its own devices.
