Apple Getting In The Holiday Spirit By Requesting The Addition Of Additional Samsung Devices In Patent Lawsuit 4

‘Tis the season to be grateful for all sorts of possibilities and Apple is grateful for the ability to file yet another patent dispute against you guessed it— Samsung. According to Foss Patents, Apple would like to add additional variations of popular Samsung devices including the Jelly Bean-powered Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Rugby Pro and Galaxy S III mini, to its ever-growing list of devices accused of patent infringement. The thought is that Apple didn't want to stand idle and be passive because well… Samsung recently went on the offensive and naturally Apple isn't used to being pushed around and all.

Of course the recent filing was done during holiday hours, so we'll need to wait to wait and see what the courts decide to do with this recent turn of events. Nevertheless, this should make for an exciting holiday season for Judge Lucy Koh, right?
