Apple adds Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note to patent lawsuit

AppleOn the heels of its US$1 billion patent infringement victory over Samsung, Apple has amended a second and separate lawsuit to add more devices, including the Galaxy S III smartphone, Galaxy Note 10.1, and Galaxy Note, to a list of products that allegedly infringe some of its patents. In the updated document, Apple accuses Samsung of continuing to “flood the market with copycat products” and “release new infringing products, including its current flagship device, the Galaxy S III.”

Among the patents allegedly infringed upon in this case are the ‘721 “Slide-to-unlock” and the ‘604 “Universal search” patents.

This separate case (U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Ltd, et al 12-00630.) has Apple alleging infringement over eight utility patents. It was first filed in February and has already seen Judge Lucy Koh issue an now on hold injunction against the Galaxy Nexus.
