Apple and Samsung continue to hurl gadgets at each other in their seemingly never-ending patent battle.
Midweek, Samsung filed a request that the
iPad Mini, the fourth-generation iPad, and the fifth-generation iPod Touch be included in a California case set to go to trial in 2014. Not to be outdone, Apple responded last night by asking that several more Samsung devices, including the
Galaxy Note 2, the Galaxy S3 with
Android 4.1, and the Galaxy S3 Mini, be covered by the case.
The last round of tit-for-tat additions to the list of gadgets covered by the case included Apple's iPhone 5, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1, and the Galaxy Nexus smartphone in conjunction with Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. The U.S. model of the Galaxy S3 -- which was not yet running Android 4.1 -- was also part of the earlier back-and-forth.
Back in August, Apple won an earlier California case, which focused on exterior design issues and not just on what Apple said were similarities to patented software features. This case deals more with software and user interface patents, raising the question of whether Android-maker Google might somehow get pulled directly into the fray.
The case is being overseen by U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal in a federal court in San Jose, Calif.
