Fresh from their win on the controversial patent trial, tech giant Apple is now seeking to ban eight smartphones from Samsung.

Apple wasted no time in their attempt to hinder the sales of the eight older model phones of its rival including the Galaxy S II and Droid Charge.

While Apple's lawsuit cited 28 devices, many of those accused products are no longer widely available in the world's largest mobile market.

Although Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III phone was not included in the trial, the jury validated Apple's patents on features and design elements that the United States company could then try to wield against that device.

Apple was awarded over $1 billion in damages after a US jury decided that Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad. This verdict could lead to an outright ban on sales of key Samsung products.

Analysts believed that Apple now gained the momentum after Samsung beat the former in the recent quarter. Samsung sold around 50 million phones between April and June, which is almost twice the number of iPhones. The total damages that they have to pay are equivalent to just 1.5 per cent of the annual revenue from its telecoms business.

"The evidence and weight of the case are heavily in Apple's favor. We expect there is a two-thirds chance of an injunction against Samsung products," Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek said.

An injunction hearing has been set for September 20.

If US District Judge Lucy Koh grants sales bans, Samsung will probably try to put them on hold pending the outcome of its appeal.

Winning the court battle only strengthens its position in the market before the much anticipated release of iPhone 5 on September 12. Moreover, this could yield to its dominance in the tech market.
