The  complaint was filed Wednesday. Permanent exclusion "The complaint requests relief in the form of a permanent exclusion  order prohibiting entry to the United States of all Apple products in  violation of these patents," Samsung said, adding that the items include  the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and iPod Touch.Though Apple is a US company, many of its products are assembled in China and exported to the US. Apple Inc spokesman Steve Park in Seoul declined comment. Consumers shouldn't worry about being able to buy products. These  disputes take months or years to resolve and typically end with payments  of licensing fees rather than any import ban. On June 14, Apple agreed to pay Nokia Corp a one-time sum to settle  their long-standing disputes over patents that cover features such as  swiping gestures on touch screens and the built-in "app store" for  downloading updated programmes. The amount wasn't disclosed. The action by Samsung is the latest move in a fight that began in  April when Apple Inc sued Samsung Electronics Co in a California court  claiming that Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones and tablet computers  copy its iPad and iPhone. Samsung responded by filing lawsuits in South Korea, the US and  elsewhere alleging patent violations by Apple. Apple then filed a  lawsuit against Samsung in Seoul Central District Court.</blockquote>
