The American corporation is suing Samsung for up to $2 billion (£1.2 bn); as it wants Samsung to be forced to pay $40 (£24) royalty on every device it deems to be copying its software.
In the court filings, the company said: "Apple revolutionised the market in personal computing devices.
"Samsung, in contrast, has systematically copied Apple's innovative technology and products, features and designs, and has deluged markets with infringing devices.''
The company also claimed that Samsung stole tap-from-search technology.
However, Samsung has refuted Apple's claims. The South Korean firm, which is also the market leader, said that it was a pioneer and apple was doing the copying.
"Samsung has been a pioneer in the mobile device business sector since the inception of the mobile device industry," said Samsung lawyers.
"Apple has copied many of Samsung's innovations in its Apple iPhone, iPod, and iPad products.''
Samsung added that it owns a patent relating to how media pictures and videos are organised on a
device. It also said it invented a method for sending and receiving data using low bandwidth connections.
