Apple in a U.s. court asked to make a far-reaching sales ban for Samsung products after an earlier patentzaak. Also wants Apple to a higher compensation, which is 1.7 billion dollars must come out.

According to Apple would be Samsung products ‘features include that are not clearly differ from the features in which patent infringement is found’ should be banned. This breedomvattende judgment could ensure that, subject to the right herein involved, much of Samsung’s mobile devices are no longer in the United States be allowed to be sold. Apple would then in many cases can make the claim that parts of Samsung’s products resemble what is where in an earlier court case patent infringement is established, although it remains unclear what effect such a general condemnation could have.

Incidentally, want Apple a compensation of about $ 700 million higher than the previous $ 1 billion of that as the amount of damages was determined by the jury that the case between Apple and Samsung treated. The amount would be 1.7 billion released, whereby the company from Cupertino, the additional amount claimed mainly attributes to infringement on a design by Samsung.

Apple tried already a sales ban to achieve for a number of smartphones with patent infringement have been proven to be considered. Also the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note have been recently added to the indictment. Because patent infringement has already been established, seems to be a sales ban for the infringing products is likely.

In a response, Samsung has the court asked for a new case to start. According to the Korean company, there was too little time allocated to all the accusations by Apple to be able to adequately treat. Moreover, let a member of the jury know after one day already to be convinced about the question of guilt in the lawsuit.

According to the court, made Samsung with its smartphones and tablets infringed several of Apple’s patented technologies and design features. This was, among other things, to the pinch-to-zoom and tap-to-zoom patent. Although Samsung, in turn, Apple accuses due to patent infringement, where infringement has not been proven.
