Samsung has countersued Ericsson, a Swedish
phone maker which sued Samsung for a patent infringement in November. It was sued
last year for a same reason by Ericsson.
Samsung said that Ericsson infringed 20 of
its patents and claimed a permanent injunction to ban the sales of Ericsson
products which infringe Samsung’s patents, Wall Street Journal reported.
Samsung declared that it's "a willing
licensee," but that "Ericsson demands unreasonable terms and
conditions…Ericsson no doubt has plans to extract unreasonable fees from the
rest of the industry unless stopped by Samsung here." Ericsson announced
in a statement, "We anticipate that the court will resolve the claims in
our favor and we hope that this will lead to a cross-license agreement on fair,
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms."
These lawsuits would not be a big fight because
they are not considered as a big competitors, Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Mark
Newman added to WSJ.
