Reuters reports:
Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday that it filed a new lawsuit against Apple Inc in a U.S. court, contending the iPhone 5 infringed on Samsung’s patents.
The company wrote in a statement that “we have little choice but to take the steps necessary to protect our innovations and intellectual property rights”.
By targeting Apple’s latest iPhone, which sold over five million units during the opening weekend, Samsung is hoping to get some leverage after a U.S. court in the high-stake Apple v. Samsung trial awarded Apple $1 billion in damages, ruling that Samsung infringed upon several Apple patents.
The problem is, Samsung has so many phones that even a sales ban cannot stop its march.
Apple on the other hand has only one high-profile device family so any possible sales injunction would put a serious dent in its fortunes as Apple is now basically an iPhone company.
