Samsung is suing Apple to see advance copies of the next-generation iPhone and iPad in a tit-for-tat war over patents.
Last month, Apple filed a lawsuit claiming Samsung had copied their 'technology, user interface and innovative style'.
Samsung has claimed it needs the information about the latest Apple products being developed to ensure that future devices will not be subjected to the same infringement claims.
Apple's court filing compares its patents with the products released by Samsung. A judge has ruled in favour of Apple's request for 'unexpedited discovery' regarding prototypes being developed by Samsung
The South Korea-based company has asked that samples be handed over by June 13.
Last week a judge ruled in favour of Apple's request for 'unexpedited discovery' regarding prototypes being developed by Samsung, which they must hand over within 30 days.
This includes the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 tablets, and smartphones like the Galaxy S II, Droid Charge, and Infuse 4G.

Samsung has asked for 'a sample of the final, commercial version' of the next-generation iPhone that Apple will release, 'whether that product will be known as the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or some other name'.
Despite the recent dispute, the companies have been working as close business partners for a number of years - and this doesn't look set to end.
Samsung currently supplies chips to the iPhone maker - which contributed 5.68 billion to the South Korean company's revenue last year.
