"If you thought the $1 billion courtroom victory over Samsung satisfied Apple's appetite for patent lawsuits against the South Korean electronics giant, think again. Apple has asked a judge to add one of Samsung's most recent products to another lawsuit that's scheduled to go to trial in 2014.\nApple wants to add the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which went on sale in August, to a patent-infringment lawsuit, Bloomberg reports. It's also lumped in Android 4.1 software (aka \"Jelly Bean\") into the same case. Although that software is made by Google, Samsung includes it on its latest Android devices, although the Note 10.1 in particular hasn't received its promised Jelly Bean update yet.\nApple may have a tougher time proving the Galaxy Note 10.1 infringes on the iPad, since Samsung differentiates its tablet with an accompanying stylus, something the iPad doesn't have. However, with regard to general tablet functionality, the Note does work similar to the Galaxy Tab, which was found to have infringed on Apple's patents in the previous lawsuit.\n\nSEE ALSO: Everything You Need to Know About Apple v. Samsung in 97 Seconds\nIf the judge allows Jelly Bean to be included in the case, it will mark the first time a Google-managed product is directly targeted in a patent case brought forward by Apple. Apple's lawyers said the only Jelly Bean device it wants to add to the lawsuit is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which debuted in late 2011.\nHowever, it wants to add 17 products to the lawsuit in total. Samsung, in its counterclaims, only wanted to add the iPhone 5 to the case. The judge hasn't yet ruled on Apple's request.\nThe request to add more recent products in a previously filed case highlights one of the major issues with patent lawsuits: that the advance of technology often outpaces the legal system. Even though Apple secured a major financial victory in its previous case against Samsung, most of the devices that were affected were no longer current.\nDo you think Apple has a case in saying the Galaxy Note 10.1 and Jelly Bean infringe on its patents?
