Daily Cuppa: Samsung goes after iPhone 5 as Apple catches up

Another day, another claim in the ongoing patent war between Apple and Samsung. It must be Wednesday.

Samsung's lawyers in the US have added the iPhone 5 to the list of Apple products that the company believes have infringed on its patents. There are no new patents involved at this stage; Samsung is just claiming that the patents the other iPhone models infringed on are also infringed in the iPhone 5. The company is expected to also claim that parts of the iPhone 5's 4G functionality infringe on Samsung-held patents.

In good news for Samsung, the ban on the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has also been lifted, and the company remains the biggest seller in the phone market in the US, at 25.7 percent market share. But Apple is catching up, moving up to 17.1 percent market share in August, up from 15 percent in May.
