Samsung Seeks iPhone 4S Ban in France and Italy

Declares “all-out war” over patent dispute

South Korean electronics company Samsung will attempt to block sales of the new iPhone 4S in France and Italy, saying that the new Apple product infringes Samsung patents. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after Apple unveiled its new phone, and is part of a larger patent war between the two companies.
The AFP quotes an unnamed Samsung spokesman who says the company is "virtually going into an all-out war" with Apple over copyright infringements.
