Apple vs samsung: Apple wants ban on Samsung products

Apple is hoping to press its advantage against Samsung Electronics, asking for a court order to ban its products. Apple went back to the same San Jose, Calif court which ruled last month that Samsung’s products copied several key elements of the iPhone.Apple scored a big victory through the San Jose jury that ruled the decision Samsung had invaded a number of key patents and the jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages.

The latest legal developments come as Apple launched the iPhone 5 last Friday, gathering the usual lines and frenzy for the launch of a new Apple product. Apple and Samsung are in a tight battle for smartphone sovereignty, with Samsung in the lead.

Samsung was again cautioned that the ruling would hurt U.S. consumers and lead to less choice and higher prices down the line. Samsung has already said it would drag the iPhone 5 into the legal battle, indicating that there is no likely end to the squabble for a while.

Samsung said:

“Indeed, it is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies.”
