Apple is targeting 21 devices released between August 2011 and August 2012: Galaxy S III, Verizon Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II T-Mobile, Galaxy S II AT&T, Galaxy Nexus, Illusion, Captivate Glide, Exhibit II 4G, Stratosphere, Transform Ultra, Admire, Conquer 4G, Dart smartphones, Galaxy Player 4.0, Galaxy Player 5.0, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, and Galaxy Tab 8.9.
Apple in its filing said that, despite the other lawsuit before Judge Lucy Koh, Samsung “continued to flood the market with copycat products,” and the lawsuit is seeking to put an end to Samsung’s actions.
“Samsung has systematically copied Apple’s innovative technology and products, features, and designs, and has deluged markets with infringing devices in an effort to usurp market share from Apple. Instead of pursuing independent product development, Samsung slavishly copied Apple’s innovative technology, with its elegant and distinctive user interfaces product design, in violation of Apple’s valuable intellectual property rights,” Apple said in its filing.
It is unclear whether this new filing will have any impact on the ongoing Australian case. No new filings have been made since August 29, and Apple’s Australian spokesperson declined to comment when asked about it by ZDNet.
A hearing on whether the devices will be banned is scheduled to be heard in December. A Samsung executive was reported as saying that the company may even consider altering the functionality of these devices to ensure that they remain on the market in the US.
