Apple lists 8 Samsung products it wants banned

Apple Inc. on Monday gave a federal judge a list of eightSamsung Electronics Co. products it wants pulled from shelves and banned fromthe U.S. market, including popular Galaxy model smartphones.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh asked for the list after a jury in San Jose lastweek slammed Samsung with a $1.05 billion verdict, finding that the SouthKorean technology giant had "willfully" copied Apple's iPhone andiPad in creating and marketing the products. Samsung plans an appeal.
The products Apple wants out are all smartphones: Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2AT&T, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase,Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail.
Koh on June 26 banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the U.S. market after finding itlikely violated a "design patent." Samsung is now asking for that banto be lifted after the jury found the computer tablet didn't infringe thatparticular patent, but it did find it infringed three Apple's software patentsthat cover the popular "bounce-back" and pinch-to-zoom features.
The judge has scheduled a Sept. 20 hearing to discuss Apple's demands for thesales bans. She asked Apple on Friday to submit the list of products its wantsremoved from U.S. stores after Samsung complained that it doesn't have enoughtime to prepare for the scheduled hearing.
The judge is deciding whether to reschedule the hearing to give Samsung moretime to prepare. Samsung plans to ask the judge to toss out the jury's verdictas unsupported by the evidence. Failing that, the company says it will appealthe verdict to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
In addition to the sales bans, Apple also plans to ask the judge to triple thedamages to $3.15 billion because of the jury's finding that Samsung"willfully" copied Apple.
Apple filed its lawsuit in April of last year alleging that 28 Samsungsmartphones and computer tablets had "slavishly copied" the iPhonesand iPads. Samsung countered with its own claims that Apple used its wirelesstechnology without proper compensation.
A nine-person jury in its verdict Friday unanimously agreed with Apple. Most ofthe damages were tied to Samsung's smartphones. The jury rejected Samsung'scounterclaims.
Most of the Samsung products found to have "infringed' Apple's patent wereolder devices no longer being sold. The list Apple presented to the court onMonday represent devices it believes are still being sold in U.S. stores,including several versions of the company's popular S2 phones introduced lastyear. Samsung's newest and hottest selling smartphone, the Galaxy S3, was notpart of the lawsuit and is unaffected by the jury's verdict.
The award represents about 1.5 percent of Samsung's annual revenue. Analystssaid the embarrassment of the verdict is a bigger blow for Samsung than thefinancial setback.
Still, the question remains whether Samsung and other Apple competitors willhave to redesign their smartphones to avoid infringing Apple's patents. Mostanalysts agree the verdict sends a threatening message to device makers such asSamsung, which use Google's Android operating system.
