Apple wants patent lawsuit to include Samsung Galaxy S4

Apple has asked a federal judge in Silicon Valley to add Samsung’s new flagship Galaxy smartphone to the list of devices targeted in a patent lawsuit involving Siri personal assistant software.

The motion to amend the lawsuit to include the Galaxy S4 will be on the agenda of a June 25 hearing before US District Court Judge Paul Grewal in the California city of San Jose.

“Apple’s infringement theories regarding the S4 are identical to Apple’s infringement theories against the already accused products,” attorney Mark Lyon said in a motion filed Tuesday on behalf of Apple.
