The restraining order filing could come as early as Friday, though Judge Lucy Koh who is presiding over the Nexus case said that it might not be possible to schedule a hearing for the request before the product is launched later this month, reports Bloomberg.
"Once sales are made, the harm is irreparable," Apple lawyer Josh Krevitt said.
Samsung has reportedly racked up over 9 million pre-orders for the next-generation handset and the unit is already on sale in 28 countries across Europe and the Middle East.
Apple on Tuesday filed to enjoin the Galaxy S III with the suit being heard on Thursday, claiming that the device is a successor to the Galaxy Nexus handset co-developed by Samsung and Google. Samsung immediately filed a formal opposition and Judge Koh said that she would not deal with the S III argument today and will instead focus on the Nexus. It is unclear when the judge will decide to hear Apple's request to to enjoin the Galaxy S III, but it appears unlikely to happen before the June 21 launch date.

Now, everyone, remember that restraining orders do NOT work at all as they are shown in cartoons, TV, and movies.
There's no "you have to be 50 feet away" nonsense going on in real life.
Just to be clear.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled bickering about whether or not it's infringing.
Today Apple told Samsing that they would eat Kimchi and petrified Egg's if samsung would eat Apples. It was said that the Korean companies Senior VP blurted out Imishimi Peck pogida. When translated $%#@ %$@ ^#^$!! #!!$@#@ pu$$#.
1) It's doubtful it would work, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try. It surely didn't hurt Samsung to blatantly copy Apple. 2) What issues does Apple have with the Galaxy III? From what I've seen it's aesthetically very unique from any Apple product.

I believe it has something to do with the home button, but most of it is because of S-voice, is an "exact copy" of Siri.
