Apple asks ITC to block Samsung imports The patent war escalates to the next level.
Apple has asked the US International Trade Commission (USITC) to block imports on a number of Samsung smartphones and tablets including the popular 'Galaxy' line.

Says Apple (via Reuters):

Samsung has followed each of Apple's groundbreaking products with imitation products that incorporate Apple's technology and distinctive design


The company even went as far as to call Samsung "one of the principal infringers" of Apple IP.

Last week Samsung upped the ante by asking the USITC to block imports on popular iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad.
