It’s On! Samsung Sues Apple Back!

By •

Samsung-Galaxy-Tab

Samsung Electronics says it has filed lawsuits against Apple claiming patent infringement. The suit comes just one week after Apple sued Samsung, accusing the company of copying iOS products and packaging. Samsung filed its suits in South Korea, where the company is based, as well as in Japan and Germany. Samsung claims Apple infringed at least 5 of its patents.

“Samsung is responding actively to the legal action taken against us in order to protect our intellectual property and to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the mobile communications business,” said a Samsung spokesperson. Translation: “It’s on, bitches!”

    Theres a reason Samsung sells products to Apple.

  3. Hampus says:

    Yea, there is… They are pretty good at making microprocessors and screens, that’s it…

    If I wanted a new TV or PC monitor one from Samsung might be a good idea but for any other product they produce there is someone making a better one for the same price… (In the android-phone market that would be HTC)
