The case in question was first lodged in February, in which Apple used eight of its utility patents against 17 Samsung devices. At that point of time, Apple was said to have taken a direct aim at the Google-branded Galaxy Nexus smartphone, Apple Insider reported.

 In the amended complaint filed Friday, Apple added

the Galaxy S3, Verizon Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10.1 to the list of infringing devices, which brought the total number of accused devices to 21.

 According to Apple, Samsung has "continued to flood

the market with copycat products," since the epic Apple vs. Samsung case started last year. Even during the intervening months, Samsung has "continued to release new infringing products, including its current flagship device, the Galaxy S3."

 Among

the eight utility patents that Samsung has allegedly violated, four were asserted in the landmark Apple vs. Samsung case and the other four were issued after that lawsuit began.

IMPACT OVER SAMSUNG

29 August 2012 - Samsung will find out if eight of its products are banned from the US on 6 December, as Judge Lucy Koh set a date for the hearing for a permanent injunction. The delay could take some of the sting out of a sales ban, giving Samsung time to sell remaining stock before the injunction comes into force.

25 August 2012 - Apple has been awarded $1.05bn in a US case, after a jury found Samsung infringed its patents. Apple said it planned to ask for a sales ban on a set of Samsung devices, while Samsung said the result was a "loss for the American consumer".

After the jury in the Apple v Samsung patent trial handed Samsung a spanking $1bn fine, a bizarre rumour went round that Samsung had paid this off by sending Apple 30 trucks full of 5-cent pieces.
