The Apple v. Samsung patent war
that will seemingly never end has taken another turn today, as Apple is
asking the court to add newer Samsung Galaxy hardware, including the
Galaxy S III, Verizon Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10.1 to
its complaint against the Galaxy Nexus
and other related devices. If you thought updated software and designs
would keep these newer smartphones and tablets out of the fight -- you
were wrong. Just to help you keep things straight, remember this is a
separate case from the one that ended exactly a week ago with a decision in Apple's favor to the tune of more than $1 billion in damages.
At issue here are eight of Apple's utility patents that it says Samsung has infringed upon. The headliner patents at issue are '721 which covers slide to unlock, and '604, which could apply to the universal search feature Samsung has been pulling from its phones recently. Another familiar entry is the '647 patent Apple slapped HTC with in 2010, which has a vague description but applies to clicking on a phone number in an email, for example, to call it. You can read the details on each and every one in the PDF linked below, we'll be doing... anything else.
