Ericsson sues Samsung over patent infringement

Ericsson AB is the world’s biggest producer of mobile phone networks and they have now sued South Korean company Samsung saying that they are infringing upon 11 of their patents related to mobile phone technologies.

The company claims in the lawsuit filed in courts that Samsung wrongly used patented technology including methods of reducing cell phone power usage and amplifying and adjusting radio frequency.

Ericsson had already filed a lawsuit against Samsung in February this year and they had asked the courts to rule that Samsung infringed its patents. In addition, the company asked the courts to conclude that phones made by a joint venture with Sony Corp do not infringe Samsung patents.

Sony Ericsson and Samsung are two of the many mobile phone makers challenging the domination of Nokia and Motorola in the mobile phone markets around the world.
