San Francisco: Samsung is determined to fight Apple’s request to ban the sale of some of its smartphones in the US.
Apple has asked a San Jose federal court for injunctions on Samsung’s Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 (AT&T), Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile), Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail.
Apple earlier was granted an injunction banning Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet.
Samsung said on Tuesday that it plans to keep up sales of its devices in US markets.
“We will take all necessary measures to ensure the availability of our products in the US market,” the company said in a statement.
A nine-member US jury found Samsung had wilfully infringed design and software patents covering iPads and iPhones. If the $1.05 billion damage award survives, it will be one of the largest verdicts in patent history.
US District Court Judge Lucy Koh will next hear Apple’s request for injunctions that would bar Samsung to sell some certain products.
If Samsung does not win an appeal of the verdict at the federal circuit court in Washington, DC, it will have to fix Apple’s complaints.
