Samsung adds iPad mini to patent infringement lawsuit

PanARMENIAN.Net - Samsung successfully added the iPhone 5 to its newest patent battle with Apple, and now the company accused several more of Cupertino's products of infringement — including the iPad mini, The Verge reports.

In a court filing Nov 21, the company asked to include Apple's 7.9-inch tablet along with the latest versions of the iPod Touch and iPad; all of the devices are accused of infringing the same patents already in play in the case.

Apple won a jury verdict in a courtroom fight between the two companies earlier this year, but this second lawsuit will likely go to trial sometime next year. Apple has accused the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S III, and an assortment of other products thus far, while Samsung has returned with its own accusations in kind.
