Apple is seeking a US sales ban on eight models of Samsung smartphones and the extension of a preliminary ban on a tablet after winning its patent trial against the Korean company. Apple named the phones it wants barred in a filing with the US district court in California hearing the case. Apple won a ban on US sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in June, and Apple seeks to make that ban permanent. The company also wants the judge to bar US sales of the version of the tablet that runs on mobile networks, even though the product wasn't covered by the 24 August verdict. Samsung sought to have the ban on the Tab 10.1 lifted, but the jury instead found that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringed three of Apple's software patents. Of the total 28 Samsung devices Apple says are infringing, the eight targeted for a US sales ban include the Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S II Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II T-Mobile, Galaxy S Showcase, the S II AT&T, the S II Skyrocket and the Droid Charge. Combined sales of the models totaled 9.1 million units from mid-2010 to mid-2012. A hearing is scheduled for 20 September to hear Apple's request. In a separate care Apple is also seeking a bank on the Galaxy SIII, but this is not scheduled to go to trial until 2014.
