Apple wants to stop Samsung Galaxy S3 sales in the US

For past few days, Apple was a tad too calm on the legal front with Samsung. It seems that the Cupertino-based mobile phone maker was actually getting ready for a fresh strike against its arch nemesis, as its lawyers has filed a motion to stop the sales of Galaxy S3 in the US smartphone market.

With the flagship model from the house of the South Korean telecommunication giant expected to hit the shelves of 5 prominent networks this month, if the ban happens, many users could get their pre-order delayed or canceled.

This step by Apple appears a tad all of a sudden. Samsung Galaxy Nexus is also facing the heat, and the hearing of that case is expected to happen this week. The legal team of Apple claims that the European variant of this smartphone breaches a duo of patents, which are actually component of the Galaxy Nexus case. These comprises of universal search and smart links. As a result, the future of both Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Nexus is uncertain.

As expected, the Samsung legal team does not agree with Apple. They also claim that a separate motion is needed for the Galaxy S3. In addition, a notice period of two days is not sufficient for them.

Overall, the legal battle between the two leaders has heated up. And, it seems like that it won’t the over any time soon.  Obviously, we will keep you informed about all the developments in this intense rivalry between Samsung and Apple.
