Apple has filed a countersuit against Samsung in the UK, expanding on the large number of lawsuits between the two companies, reports ZDNet.
The suit was filed on Monday, Samsung told ZDNet UK, explaining that it was a countersuit against action Samsung filed with the High Court in June. Details of both suits remain sketchy, as the patents in question have not been identified in these cases. Apple's UK action against Samsung takes to at least 20 the total number of patent suits between the two companies that are currently underway. Apple says Samsung's Android smartphones and tablets infringe on Apple patents, while Samsung says Apple's products, such as the iPhone, infringe on Samsung's patents.
Just yesterday we reported that Samsung filed a complaint against Apple in France alleging it infringes on three of its patents concerning UMTS technology.
