Apple may seek expanded Samsung ban covering future phones

Apple, trying to regain lost smartphone market share from Samsung Electronics, may push to add unreleased Samsung mobile products to a permanent US sales ban it’s seeking after winning a US$1.05 billion verdict.

US District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, on Friday is hearing Apple’s arguments that a jury’s finding in August that Samsung infringed six patents justifies a ban on US sales of at least 25 of its phones and tablet computers.

She will also hear Samsung’s argument that the verdict should be thrown out because of alleged misconduct by the jury’s foreman.
