U.S. largest telecom service provider Verizon Wireless has asked the U.S. court presiding over Apple’s case against Samsung Electronics to deny an injunction against Samsung’s products in the U.S.

FOSS Patents, a blog on software patent news, said Sunday that Verizon filed a brief asking a Northern District of California court to deny Apple’s request for a preliminary ban on Samsung devices.

Verizon reportedly claimed in the request that the ban would hinder the development and rollout of its LTE-based 4G network and thus would be against the public’s interest.

The local court, which plans to hold a hearing on the injunction on October 13th, will soon decide on whether to adopt Verizon’s complaint.
