HTC and Apple announced earlier this month that they had reached a global settlement dismissing all patent lawsuits between the two companies. Samsung hopes that the settlement details will assist Samsung prepare for a December hearing concerning Apple's bid for a permanent US sales ban on eight Samsung smartphone models and one tablet computer. Samsung has also requested that the court add to its patent infringement claims Apple's iPod Touch 5, iPad 4, and iPad mini devices.
