Apple Inc. on Thursday told a California federal judge that Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s request to lift a sales ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 shouldn't be heard before Apple's own move to bar U.S. sales of several Samsung devices.
Apple Inc.'s request to permanently bar several of Samsung Electronics Co.'s smartphones from the U.S. market will be taken up at a Dec. 6 court hearing, after a jury found that Samsung copied Apple's flagship products, according to an order filed Tuesday.

Apple Inc. on Monday said it intends to press a California federal judge to issue a preliminary ban on eight of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s smartphones, after a jury found on Friday that Samsung had willfully copied Apple's iPhone and iPad.
A California federal jury on Friday awarded $1.049 billion in damages to Apple Inc. in its epic patent battle with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., deciding after just three days of deliberation that Samsung had willfully copied Apple's iPhone and iPad.
The epic patent tangle between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. was handed over to a nine-member California jury Tuesday, with Apple attorneys accusing Samsung of a calculated quest to copy the Silicon Valley behemoth's iPhones and iPads, and counsel for the Korean company lambasting Apple for an unfair choke hold on the smartphone market.
With jury deliberations beginning Wednesday in the epic patent dispute between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., attorneys said jurors may base their verdict more on gut instinct than on the complex legal standards outlined in 109 pages of jury instructions.
As Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. wrapped up the evidence portion of its patent fight Friday, Apple called to the stand a former U.S. Department of Justice antitrust attorney who said Samsung has abused its market power by charging inflated rates for its technology.
The mood in U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh's courtroom lightened slightly as the third week of the high-stakes patent trial between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. came to a close Friday, with the California judge jokingly asking Apple attorney William Lee of WilmerHale if he was still "not smoking crack."
