Below is the list of all the devices That the two companies have named for the upcoming trial, scheduled for March 31, 2014:

Apple iPhone 4 | |
Apple iPad 4 | |
Apple iPad 3 | |
Apple iPad 2 | |
Apple iPad mini | |
Apple iPod touch (5th generation) | |

Explaining the lack of newer models like the iPhone 5S, 5C Galaxy Note 3 and S4 from the respectively lists, Foss Patents says, “The parties tried hard to accuse eachother’s latest and greatest products, but U.S. patent litigation is slow, Which is why this 2014 trial will ask about 2012 and pre-2012 products. “
In April 2013, Judge Lucy Koh asked the two companies to reduce the number of patent violation claims and infringing products That the jury willhave to Consider During The Trial. Both companies are now allowed to stake Infringement claims to five patents and 10 products During The Trial. For each patent, They are allowed to choose one Infringement claim.
Samsung recently lost a patent claim in the U.S. 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 patents, but better than nothing,” According to Foss Patents. Apple, on the other hand, has one count of Claimed Infringement The for each of its five patents.Below is the list of patent claims by the two companies:
Apple:
1. Data tapping
second Siri-style unified search
third Asynchronous Data synchronization
4th Slide-to-unlock image
5th Autocomplete
Samsung
1. Non-scheduled transmission over enhanced uplink data channel; declaration of default essentiality to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in May 2006
second Signalling control information of uplink packet data service; declaration of default essentiality to ETSI in May 2010
third Recording and reproducing digital image and speech
fourth Remote video transmission systems
Considering the rise in Samsung’s sales in the past few years, Foss Patents estimates That the damage claims Should still remainings quite high in this case, despite the absence of any design patents. In two EARLIER trials centered on design patents, Apple has (Jointly) been awarded a sum of $ 929 million over Samsung’s patent violation.
