Apple vs. Samsung Lawsuit: Patent Infringement Trial Disputes 'Will Continue' Against Apple Inc., Says Samsung CEO

Don't expect the Apple vs. Samsung patent infringement trial to conclude any time soon as a top Samsung executive reportedly showed no sign of a truce.

According to The Korea Times, Samsung Electronics Co. CEO Shin Jong-kyun told reporters that his company has no plans in easing on the 50-plus ongoing patent disputes against Apple Inc.

"Patent disputes against Apple will be continue," said the Samsung CEO.

The statement is his first following the U.S. International Trade Commission's (ITC) decision to ban the imports of the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad 2 into the U.S. According to the order, signed by ITC's Acting Secretary Lisa R. Barton, Samsung "has proven" that the three before-mentioned Apple devices infringed Samsung patent '348. Further, the ITC believed Apple did not provide enough evidence to show they didn't violate any of Samsung's claims.

Jong-kyun also defended claims about the Galaxy S4's sales.

"I can say sales of the Galaxy S4 smartphone are fine. It's been selling well," said the Samsung CEO, against claims by JP Morgan that shipments were slow or planned to be cut by a couple million.

In regards to the U.S. patent infringement trial, the Samsung victory from the ITC is a separate ruling from the ongoing patent infringement trial in San Jose, Calif. Apple and Samsung are currently preparing for their second patent lawsuit, which will include the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note 2, to name a few. Apple recently filed to add the Galaxy S4 to the trial, claiming it violated five of the Cupertino-based company's patents.

The second patent infringement trial is set for spring 2014.

It isn't all bad news for Apple, as President Barack Obama can veto the ITC's decision.
