Samsung Electronics said it would seek a ban in France and Italy on sales of Apple's newly released iPhone, in the latest round of its legal battle with Apple.
A spokesman for Samsung warned that it was "virtually going into an all-out war" with Apple as the computer giants' row over copyright infringements took a new twist.
Samsung said in a separate statement it would file preliminary injunctions in the two countries to ban sales of the iPhone 4S, citing what it called two patent infringements regarding mobile technology.Samsung claimed the US firm infringed its technology patents on wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) standards for 3G mobile handsets.WCDMA is a mobile communications system which enables the continued support of voice, text, data and multimedia services.
Samsung said the infringed technology was essential to the reliable functioning of telecom networks and devices and described Apple's alleged violation as "too severe".The two firms are already at loggerheads in a series of patent lawsuits over the technology and design of smartphones and tablet computers.
