Samsung draws iPad mini into patent battle

NEW YORK - Samsung has filed papers at a United States court alleging that Apple's iPad mini, introduced this month, infringes eight patented technologies.

It is the latest salvo in the rivals' global legal battle. The Korean giant asked a judge on Wednesday to add Apple's 7.9-inch tablet to a list of products it claims violate patents on radio signalling technologies, among others.

Both firms are seeking to ensure the others' most recent products are drawn into the fight, which could lead to sales bans. Last week Apple successfully applied to add Google's most recent mobile operating system, Android 4.2, Jelly Bean, to the case.
