Apple files ITC request to dam import of select Samsung devices

And with that, another punch is thrown. The slugfest that’s Apple vs. Samsung is getting uglier by the minute, as each pushes the other’s buttons in a presumed effort to receives a commission (or get the alternative to backtrack). Just as Apple was being told ” no ” in a request for a preliminary injunction, it’s hoping for a more satisfactory outcome from its most up-to-date filing. That one’s headed to the usa International Trade Commission in Washington, where Apple’s attempting to block the import of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, amongst other Samsung products. The ITC only stated “Electronic Digital Media Devices,” but FOSS Patents has found five utility patents and 2 design patents — those encompass a grand total of six Sammy smartphones and a duo of slates. Analysts are stating that an outright ban on Samsung imports is unlikely (no shock there), and probably the most likely outcome here’s a “settlement and cross-licensing deal.” Mo’ money, mo’ problems, right?
