Bloomberg reports that after Apple's patent victory in court last week over smart-phone rival Samsung, Apple is seeking a sales ban on several specific phones from Samsung (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-24/apple-seeks-order-blocking-sale-of-some-samsung-phones.html); none of them are currently flagship devices. "The nine devices targeted by Cupertino, California-based Apple for a U.S. sales ban include the Admire, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S3 and Stratosphere."Getting the competition blocked from the marketplace (http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/12/27/1526256/apple-again-seeks-ban-on-20-samsung-devices-in-us) over patent claims is something that Apple's tried before in connection with its beef with Samsung, and the company has had mixed (http://apple-beta.slashdot.org/story/12/12/18/1512244/judge-refuses-apple-request-for-samsung-ban-but-denies-new-trial-too)results (http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/07/24/1731246/apple-wins-eu-ban-of-smaller-samsung-tablet-demands-25-billion-in-damages), depending on jurisdiction. Last week's decision in favor of Apple hints that the jury didn't think the company deserved the entire $2.2 billion it was seeking, awarding (a mere) $120 million, instead.
