We live in a sue-happy world, and Apple and Samsung aren’t immune. After Apple
filed a lawsuit against Samsung in April essentially alleging Samsung’s Galaxy tablets
and handsets copied the iPad, iPhone, and iPod, Samsung countered days later with
its own lawsuit. Apple’s lawsuit, which it filed in a U.S. District Court in California,
specifically cites 10 patent-infringement related charges against Samsung, with complaints
reportedly going so far as to read Samsung’s “copying is so pervasive, that
the Samsung Galaxy products appear to be actual Apple products.” Samsung’s
claim, meanwhile, doesn’t directly answer Apple’s claims but does seek “to protect
our intellectual property and to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the
mobile communications business.” Coincidentally, as the Wall Street Journal quoted
Apple COO Tim Cook as saying, Apple is “Samsung’s largest customer,” buying its
chips, screens, and other components.
