South Korea’s Samsung Electronics vowed to take “all necessary measures” to keep its products on US store shelves, in response to Apple’s request for a ban on sales of some smartphones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After winning a US$1.05 billion US court judgement in a patent suit last week, Apple on Monday filed a court request to ban eight Samsung mobile devices including versions of its Galaxy and Droid smartphones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samsung, the world’s biggest technology firm, countered in a statement:<\/strong> “We will take all necessary measures to ensure the availability of our products in the US market.”<\/p>\n

Rival Apple says that it reserves the right to seek permanent injunctions banning the sale of all 28 Samsung devices <\/strong>which a jury on Friday found infringed its patents.<\/p>\n

But it presented a shorter list of Samsung products “to address a portion of the immediate, ongoing irreparable harm that Apple is suffering”.<\/p>\n

The phones that Apple included on its list for a sales ban are old models but still available through wireless carriers and online retailers. Samsung’s newest flagship products — Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note — were not included.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The jury in San Jose, California decided Friday that Samsung “wilfully” infringed six Apple patents for smartphones or tablet PCs.<\/p>\n

Samsung has vowed to contest the verdict<\/strong>, saying courts in other countries had previously ruled it had not copied Apple’s designs.<\/p>\n

The company did not elaborate on its strategy but it is considering removing or modifying features<\/strong> found to have infringed Apple’s patents to keep its products on the market if the sales ban is granted.<\/p>\n

Judge Lucy Koh has set a hearing for September 20 to consider enforcement of injunctions against Samsung devices.<\/p>\n

She will also hear Samsung motions to reduce or dismiss charges and Apple’s request for “punitive” damages, which could triple the award.<\/p>\n

More than 90 per cent of the latest smartphones from HTC, Lenovo Group, ZTE Corp., Huawei Technologies and LG Electronics use the Android operating platform.<\/p>\n

Samsung officials say their company could develop new products or software to avoid being a future target of patent litigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samsung and other smartphone makers are working with Microsoft to launch Windows-based devices later this year. Samsung also has been working with Intel on a free and open mobile platform.<\/p>\n
