Apple escalated its legal fight with Samsung by asking the US International Trade Commission (USITC) to block imports of some of the South Korean firm's smartphones and tablet computers.
In a filing on Tuesday, Apple asked the USITC to look into its complaint that Samsung is infringing on the California-based company's patents in "electronic digital media devices" including its Galaxy lines of smartphones and tablets.
"Samsung has followed each of Apple's groundbreaking products with imitation products that incorporate Apple's technology and distinctive design," Apple counsel Alexander Hadjis said in the USITC complaint.
Apple contended that the South Korean electronics giant was using its patented technology in components such as touchpads, software and audio interfaces.Hadjis branded Samsung "one of the principal infringers" of Apple intellectual property.
Apple patents at issue ranged from headphone technology to "ornamental design features."
Apple asked the independent, quasi-judicial federal agency to stop offending Samsung devices from being imported into the United States for sale.
Samsung could not be reached immediately for a response on Wednesday.
