The two biggest smartphone makers in the world have submitted the lists that include names of products like iPhone 5, iPad 4, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III to the federal court of San Jose, California.</div> </div> </div> <div class="float" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; height: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/images/pixel.gif" style="border: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> Below is the list of all the devices that the two companies have named for the upcoming trial, scheduled for March 31, 2014:</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Apple</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Samsung</strong> Samsung Galaxy Note II Apple iPhone 5 Samsung Galaxy S III Apple iPhone 4S Samsung Galaxy Note Apple iPhone 4 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Apple iPad 4 Samsung Galaxy S II Apple iPad 3 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Apple iPad 2 Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket Apple iPad mini Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch Apple iPod touch (5th generation) Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere Apple iPod touch (4th generation) Samsung Galaxy Admire Apple Macbook Air <br style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Explaining the lack of newer models like iPhone 5S, 5C, Galaxy Note 3 and S4 from the respective lists, Foss Patents says, "The parties tried hard to accuse each other's latest and greatest products, but US patent litigation is slow, which is why this 2014 trial will be about 2012 and pre-2012 products."</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> In April 2013, Judge Lucy Koh asked the two companies to reduce the number of patent violation claims and infringing products that the jury will have to consider during the trial. Both companies are now allowed to stake infringement claims to five patent and 10 products during the trial. For each patent, they are allowed to choose one infringement claim.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> Samsung recently lost a patent claim in the US and was left with only four patents that Apple is allegedly infringing. Thus, the South Korean juggernaut has claimed two counts of violation for one of the patents, while the remaining three patents have only one claim attached. This is "typically not nearly as useful as a whole additional patent, but better than nothing," according to Foss Patents.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> Apple, on the other hand, has claimed one count of infringement for each of its five patents.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> Below is the list of patent claims by the two companies:</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Apple:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"> 1.

In two earlier trials centred on design patents, Apple has (jointly) been awarded a sum of $929 million over Samsung's patent violation.</div> </div>
