Apple may have won a jury verdict in its patent case against Samsung, but its motion to have certain Samsung devices banned from the US won't be heard until December.

Last week, Apple won a jury decision that ordered Samsung to pay the iPhone company more that $US1 billion in damages for patent infringement.

In addition to financial restitution, Apple is seeking a ban on Samsung phones that infringe the company's patents.

Apple is most concerned about eight Samsung smartphones - the Droid Charge, Galaxy Prevail, and various Galaxy S and S II models - but may take further action against other Samsung devices that were found to infringe upon its patents.
Samsung's current hero products, the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note, are not part of Apple's latest move against the Korean company, but Apple is running a separate case against the S III.

Samsung executives said "We will take all necessary measures to ensure the availability of our products in the US market."

This may include further legal action or modifications to the affected products, and Samsung has already indicated that it has developed workarounds for two of the patents that relate to software features.

The hearing is set for December 6.
