Apple has filed a fresh patent infringement
action in the US against Samsung, alleging
that the South Korean company is continuing to use its technology despite a recent court ruling.
The new claim was filed in San Jose,
California, on Friday and it says that
Samsung, which last month was fined
$US1.05 billion ($A1.02 billion) by an
American court for "willfully" infringing
Apple's patents, is still using its rival's
technology.
"Despite that lawsuit, Samsung has
continued to flood the market with copycat
products," Apple said, adding four of
Samsung's most recent releases - including the flagship Galaxy S III smartphone - to an earlier complaint filed in February.
"Apple will suffer and is suffering irreparable harm" because of the alleged infringement, said the maker of the iPhone and iPad.
The new US claim is the latest chapter in a
long-running global patent war between the smartphone giants, which have accused each other of stealing intellectual property for their own products.
On August 24, a California jury found the
South Korean electronics giant infringed
dozens of patents held by Apple.
