Apple's seeks to ban Samsung Galaxy S III US sales.

Quite frankly, we were beginning to worry that Apple had gone a bit too quiet on the legal front with Samsung in the days following the launch of the Galaxy S III. Apparently, the Cupertino based giant was preparing for a new strike against its biggest competitor, as its lawyers filed a motion today, requesting a ban of the Korean flagship's sales in the United States.
With the Samsung Galaxy S III headed towards the shelves of all five major carriers this month, it is easy to guess that, should the ban take place, quite a few users might end up having their pre-ordered smartphones delayed.
In case this latest development seems a bit sudden to you, you are quite right. Apple's lawyers have added the Samsung Galaxy S IIIto a current motion for an injunction of Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales, whose hearing is set to take place tomorrow. Apple's legal team claims that a European version of the GS III, which has been examined briefly, infringes a couple of patents, which are part of the Galaxy Nexus case. They include universal search and smart links. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy S III should face the music alongside the Galaxy Nexus.
Naturally, the Samsung legal team begs to differ, and claims that a separate motion is necessary for the Galaxy S III. Not to mentionthat the two days' notice is hardly adequate according to Samsung's lawyers.
This is a rather interesting development on the legal battle between the two giants.

Courtsey gsmarena.
