Samsung counters Apple in France
Apart from the location, the other differentiating factor to Samsung's legal pursuit against Apple concerned technology patents where Samsung is accusing the Connecticut-based company of having infringed on at least three of its tech patents.
The complaint was actually filed in July of this year, although Samsung expects hearings to start in December says TFTS.
According to sources, these patents relate to three UMTS-related technologies that Samsung claims to own. The patent dispute affects Apple's iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4, as well as the 3G-capable iPad and iPad 2.
The two firms are also locked in legal battles in Australia, the US and Asia. Samsung has responded to Apple's accusations by filing suits of its own in Seoul, asking for a ban on sales of the US firm's products in South Korea, according to The Times of India.
The tussle began in April when Apple filed a suit accusing Samsung of copying its smartphones and tablet computers. Samsung responded with a claim in Seoul alleging five patent infringements by Apple.
