Apple to add more products to patent case

Apple Inc has asked a federal court to add six more products to its patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co, including the Samsung Galaxy Note II, in the latest move in a legal war between the two companies.

The case is one of two patent infringement lawsuits pending in the US district court in San Jose by Apple against Samsung. An earlier lawsuit by Apple resulted in a $1.05 billion verdict against Samsung on August 24.

Apple is also seeking to add the Samsung Galaxy S III, running the new Android “Jelly Bean” operating system, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wifi, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, the Samsung Rugby Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, to its lawsuit, according to a court filing on Friday.

Samsung representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
