Samsung just isn't willing to go down without a fight. After losing an important patent battle with Apple in Australia last week, the company has now fired back with Apple's new iPhone 4S in its crosshairs.
Samsung today filed an injunction request in an Australia court, saying that Apple's iPhone 4S, which launched on Friday, violates wireless patents it holds.
According to ZDNet Australia, a CNET sister site, Samsung argues that Apple's new smartphone (in addition to the iPhone 4 and iPad 2) violate three patents in Australia. In a similar suit filed today in Japan, Samsung argues those devices violate four of its patents.
In Australia, the patents relate to the use of wireless technology, including WCDMA and HSPA, in mobile devices. According to ZDNet Australia, the patents in the Japanese suit relate to HSPA and user-interface elements.
Apple launched its iPhone 4S on Friday. The device features the same design as its predecessor, the iPhone 4, but comes with a host of improvements, including a dual-core processor and an 8-megapixel camera. The device is running Apple's latest operating system release, iOS 5.
