Hit by a lawsuit from Apple last week, Samsung returned the favor yesterday, countersuing theiPhone andiPad maker over claims of patent infringement.
In its suit filed in Seoul Central District Court, Samsung claims that Apple is violating five different patents. Samsung has also filed a suit in Tokyo, citing two patent infringements, and another in Manheim, Germany, citing three patent infringements.
A statement on the Samsung Web site says that the company 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."
Last week, Apple launched its case against Samsung, claiming that Samsung's smartphones and newtablet violate Apple's intellectual property rights in the design of mobile devices.
The legal parry and thrust could jeopardize the relationship between the two companies, notes Reuters, as Apple leans heavily on Samsung to supply chips and LCD displays for the iPhone and iPad. The two also reportedly have a huge deal in the works in which Apple would secure $7.8 billion worth of displays and processors from Samsung.
