Apple and Swedish Ericsson disagree, so that Ericsson is now introducing several lawsuits and asks for ban on sale including iPhone in the US.
Stockholm-based Ericsson has gone from selling mobile phones to become the world’s largest manufacturer of equipment for building networks for mobile communications. The company also holds several patents that Apple have previously paid royalties to use. When the contract expired in January, the parties could not agree on a new contract and sued each other.
Now put Ericsson new pressure on Apple and submit seven lawsuits in an American court and ask the US International Trade Commission to stop the sale of Apple products in the country, reports Bloomberg.
“We have offered them a license; they have declined. We are not a company that is planning to take out more than the value we can supplying said Kasim Alfalahi, director of intellectual property at Ericsson. “
Whole says Ericsson that Apple is infringing on 41 Pantent in basic ways that mobile devices are communicating and related technologies as the user interface, power management features and operating systems.
Apple has previously said that the price of today’s electronics are driven by things like design, operating system and touchscreen functions that are unique to each product and believes that Ericsson tries to exploit their patents that apply basic techniques to remove the value from Apple’s innovations.
