iPhone 5, Android 4.1, Galaxy S III, Note 10.1 dragged into patent fight

A US judge on Thursday allowed Samsung Electronics to pursue claims that the iPhone 5infringes its patents, while also allowing Apple to add claims that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S III and Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system violate its patents.
The ruling by US Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal in San Jose, California, was the latest development in a continuing legal war by Apple against manufacturers like Samsung whose products use Google's Android software.
Representatives for both Apple and Samsung declined comment.

The case is one of two patent infringement lawsuits pending in the US District Court in San Jose by Apple against Samsung. An earlier lawsuit by Apple that related to different patents resulted in a $1.05 billion jury verdict against Samsung on August 24.
Apple filed the the second lawsuit in February, alleging that various Samsung smartphone and tablet products including the Galaxy Nexusinfringed eight of its patents.
