Samsung will fight the iPhone 5 in the U.S. courtroom soon.
Samsung tells the court in the U.S. that they will attack the iPhone 5 with Samsung patents.
Samsung hopes to get a preliminary injunction on the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5 is able to use LTE, Samsung owns most of the LTE patents.
But Samsung is telling the court to start first with the eight patents they already have in a case against Apple.
So it looks like they just added the iPhone 5 in their list against Apple.
What are the eight patents?
1. U.S. Patent No. 7,756,087 on a “method and apparatus for performing non-scheduled transmission in a mobile communication system for supporting an enhanced uplink data channel”
2. U.S. Patent No. 7,551,596 on a “method and apparatus for signaling control information of uplink packet data service in mobile communication system”
3. U.S. Patent No. 7,672,470 on an “audio/video device having a volume control function for an external audio reproduction unit by using volume control buttons of a remote controller and volume control method therefor”
4. U.S. Patent No. 7,577,757 on a “multimedia synchronization method and device”
5. U.S. Patent No. 7,232,058 on a “data displaying apparatus and method”
6. U.S. Patent No. 6,292,179 on a “software keyboard system using trace of stylus on a touch screen and method for recognizing key code using the same”
7. U.S. Patent No. 6,226,449 on an “apparatus for recording and reproducing digital image and speech”
8. U.S. Patent No. 5,579,239 on a “remote video transmission system”
Words from Samsung:
“Samsung anticipates that it will file, in the near future, a motion to amend its infringement contentions to add the iPhone 5 as an accused product. On September 12, 2012, Apple announced that it will release the iPhone 5 on September 21, 2012. Based on information currently available, Samsung expects that the iPhone 5 will infringe the asserted Samsung patents-in-suit in the same way as the other accused iPhone models. Samsung plans to file a motion to amend its infringement contentions to address the iPhone 5 as soon as it has had a reasonable opportunity to analyze the device. Because Samsung believes the accused functionality of the iPhone 5 will be similar to the accused functionality of other accused Apple products, Samsung does not believe that amendment of its infringement contentions should affect the case schedule.”
