Recently, the Samsung company accused, through an action filed in an American court, the Apple company of infringing no less than 8 patents. allegations come just a few days away from a decision made by a US court which obliges the presidents of the two companies to meet and try to reach an agreement on the basis of which to conclude all open processes at the global level. The complaint filed over the weekend by Samsung comes as a response to a process started in February, but it is also based on FRAND patents that have not proven to be useful at all in the past. The lawsuit filed by Apple was based on 8 invention patents infringed by Samsung in the development of 17 of the products sold in the USA, but for now the court has not made any decision regarding them.
Samsung has filed a counterclaim against Apple in a California lawsuit, accusing the iPhone maker of violating eight patents and further escalating the fight between the two companies. The accusations by Samsung were officially filed in the Northern District of California this week in response to a complaint filed by Apple in February. Apple's original complaint accused Samsung of violating 8 patents, and named 17 specific Samsung products that the company felt were infringing upon its own inventions.
Those from Samsung accuse Apple of infringing technologies related to telecommunications systems, audio/video systems, or multimedia data synchronization, but it is hard to say whether they will help win the trial. The strategy of the Asian company is very aggressive considering that in the next 90 days the presidents of the two companies will meet to discuss the future of these processes, but the lawyers of the Asians know best how everything is thought and organized.
