Apple faces new patents fights

Apple faces becoming embroiled in a further US patent clash after Samsung said it intended to sue the firm over technology in the new iPhone 5.

The announcement followed news that a panel of judges is to follow up a separate complaint by Google which is seeking a far-reaching sales ban against Apple products.
Meanwhile, efforts continue to resolve Apple's earlier victory over Samsung.
Apple is expected to ask the judge to treble a jury's $1.05bn damages award.
