Apple Demands Ban on US Sales of Galaxy

As Samsung's stock plummeted crazily today, Apple was busy kicking its rival while it's down a billion dollars or so: The Cupertino tech giant today filed papers asking a court to extend a ban on US sales of Samsung's cell version of the Galaxy, reports Bloomberg, in response to Samsung's request yesterday that the ban be lifted. Samsung also said it was looking to recoup losses it suffered since the ban was wrongfully enacted June 26.

“While the cellular version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was not included in the verdict form, it is not colorably different from the products that the jury found to be infringing as to some Apple utility patents, and thus should be covered by an injunction against sales of products that infringe those patents,” Apple's court filing read.
