NEW DELHI: Samsung Electronics has announced that it will file separate preliminary injunction motions in Paris, France and Milano, Italy requesting the courts to block the sale of Apple iPhone 4S in the respective markets.
According to the company, the preliminary injunction requests in France and Italy will each cite two patent infringements related to wireless telecommunications technology, specifically Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) standards for 3G mobile handsets.
The infringed technology is essential to the reliable functioning of telecom networks and devices and Samsung believes that Apple's violation as being too severe and that the iPhone 4S should be barred from sales, says a company statement.
According to the company's statement, "Apple has continued to flagrantly violate our intellectual property rights and free ride on our technology. We believe it is now necessary to take legal action to protect our innovation."
The statement added that Samsung plans to file preliminary injunctions in other countries after further review.
