On Monday Apple Inc. gave a federal judge a list of eight Samsung Electronics Co. products it wants removed from retailer's shelves and banned from the U.S. market, including the prevalent Galaxy model smartphones.
Last week Samsung was not happy to find out the verdict from the jury in the patent case against Apple would award the iPhone company with a $1.05 billion verdict. Samsung plans an appeal.
The products Apple wants out are all smartphones: Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&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 it likely violated a "design patent." Samsung is now asking for that ban to be lifted after the jury found the computer tablet didn't infringe that particular patent, but it did find it infringed three Apple's software patents that cover the popular "bounce-back" and pinch-to-zoom features.
Samsung is looking to appeal the jury's verdict $1.05 billion verdict to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Due to the jury finding that Samsung "willfully copied Apple, Apple plans to ask the judge to triple the damages to #3.15 billion.
A nine-person jury in its verdict Friday unanimously agreed with Apple. Most of the damages were tied to Samsung's smartphones. The jury rejected Samsung's counterclaims.
Samsung's newest and most modern selling smartphone, the Galaxy S3, was not part of the lawsuit and is unaffected by the jury's verdict.
Analysts said the embarrassment of the verdict is a bigger blow for Samsung than the financial setback.
The award represents about 1.5 percent of Samsung's annual revenue.
