Apple Filing Specifies which Samsung Devices Should be Banned in U.S.

In the wake of its patent infringement case with Samsung, Apple has filed a notice stating which Samsung products it is looking to have banned in the U.S.
“Despite having received a finding of infringement from the jury on most of the 28 products in play in the case, it looks like Apple is only going after an injunction on eight of them — all smartphones,” reports The Verge. “That’s not terribly surprising given the fact that many of the products in the case are no longer available in the U.S.”
The filing lists the following devices: 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.
“With infringement already established… Apple must convince the court that it will be irreparably harmed if these handsets are not banned in the country. It’s easier to make this argument after a positive jury verdict, but an injunction is by no means a foregone conclusion,” notes the post. “It’s easier for Apple to establish irreparable harm when the focus of the injunction is on products it may actually compete against in the market.”
“We will take all necessary measures to ensure the availability of our products in the U.S. market,” responded Samsung in a statement.
