The company lost the initial hearing against Apple

Last week the company lost the initial hearing against Apple, in which Apple alleged Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 was infringing on a number of its patents.

"Apple has continued to violate our patent rights and free ride on our innovation. We will steadfastly protect our intellectual property," Samsung said in a statement today.

Samsung claims the iPhone 4S infringes on three Australian patents all of which surround the transmission of mobile data on WCDMA and HSPA networks.
