Apple not allowed to add Galaxy S4 to patent case

NEW DELHI: As the patent war between Apple and Samsung advances, a US court has handed the iPhone maker a setback. Apple's appeal to add Samsung's Galaxy S4 smartphone to the patent trial has been shot down by US Magistrate Judge Paul S Grewal.

Grewal said that adding yet another product to this case is a "tax on the court's resources," reports Bloomberg. "Each time these parties appear in the courtroom, they consume considerable amounts of the court's time and energy, which takes time way from other parties who also require and are entitled to the court's attention," the judge said.

Apple's lawyer Josh Krevitt told Grewal that excluding the Galaxy S4 from this case "would require Apple to file a new lawsuit" because the Samsung products covered by the case will be out of date by trial next year, the report says.

The Cupertino-based company had in May asked court to add Samsung's new flagship Galaxy smartphone to the list of devices targeted in a patent lawsuit involving Siri personal assistant software.

This case is part of the legal battle that the two companies are waging in at least ten countries across the globe. Samsung is the world's biggest smartphone manufacturer in terms of shipments, while Apple leads the race on profitability front, according to a recent Strategy Analytics report.

Apple's biggest victory came last year, when it was awarded $1.05 billion in damages by a US court. This amount was later reduced by $459 million by presiding judge Lucy Koh.
