Apple seeks to ban Samsung Galaxy S III sales in USA

Apple has filed a motion requesting Judge Koh to have Samsung's headline Android smart phone blocked in the US before it starts shipping later this month. Specifically, Apple has requested that the judge add the Galaxy S III to its current motion for a preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Nexus, the hearing for which is set for tomorrow. Apple argues that the Galaxy S III is similar enough to the Galaxy Nexus to be bundled in the same motion, and if it gets its way it won't have to submit a new request and to block Samsung Galaxy SIII before it gets into US.

Samsung has pulled off an incredible feat by getting five major US carriers to pick up nearly-identical versions of the Galaxy S III, but if Apple has its way the launch won't go as smoothly as we've been expecting. The Cupertino-based company has filed a motion requesting Judge Koh to have Samsung's headline Android smart phone blocked in the US before it starts shipping later this month.
