Samsung had hinted to sue Apple over the iPhone 5 and now they’ve confirmed by filing a request with the court to add the latest iPhone in the list of infringing products. Samsung says they “began their investigation” as soon as the iPhone 5 went on sale and came to the conclusion that iPhone 5 infringed on the eight Samsung patents, just like previous iPhones.
In a statement released to Reuters, Samsung said “we have little choice but to take the steps necessary to protect our innovations and intellectual property rights.”
