Apple has filed suit against Samsung Electronics for copying the look and feel of its iPhone and iPad, according to the WSJ.
The lawsuit, filed on April 15 in the Northern District of California, alleged that Samsung's smartphones, such as the "Galaxy S 4G," "Epic 4G," "Nexus S" and its "Galaxy Tab" touchscreen tablet, violated Apple's intellectual property.
"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products," the lawsuit said.
The Journal notes that this is bound to complicate the relationship between the companies as Samsung makes microchips used in Apple's products.
