Apple filed papers this week seeking to ban Samsung's new Galaxy S3, along with the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has already booked over 9 million pre-orders of the Galaxy S III, which is set to be sold by carriers in the United States on June 21, Apple said in its court filing.
Samsung, however, argued that Apple should not be allowed to seek such a fast injunction against the Galaxy S III.
Samsung attorney William Price also said the technology covered by Apple's patents - such as auto-correcting typed text - are not responsible for sales of Galaxy phones.
"There is no advertising or marketing on these features at all" by Apple, Price said.
Samsung's Galaxy products run on the Android operating system, developed by Google. In addition to Samsung's legal team, several Google attorneys attended the hearing before Koh on Thursday.
Apple has also accused Google's Motorola Mobility unit of infringing its iPhone patents. However, a Chicago-based federal judge on Thursday tentatively scrapped a trial between those two that had been scheduled to begin next week.
"Neither party can establish a right to relief," Judge Richard Posner wrote.
In California, Koh did not rule from the bench on Thursday on Apple's request for an injunction on the Nexus.
