So much for making nice. Apple just announced that it's countersuing Nokia for infringing thirteen of its patents -- slightly upping Nokia's claim that Apple's infringing ten (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/nokia-sues-apple-says-iphone-infringes-ten-patents/). We haven't seen the case yet, but we'll post it up for you as soon as we find it -- and as we predicted in our breakdown of Nokia's complaint (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/nokia-vs-apple-the-in-depth-analysis/), this is shaping up to be a long and costly nightmare of a suit. Hey, do you think Apple General Counsel Bruce Sewell might have a crazy lightning rod of a statement about the case for us?

"Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours," said Bruce Sewell, Apple's General Counsel and senior vice president.
Cool, thanks. We'll be in the corner under a Nomex blanket for the next few months.Apple countersues Nokia for infringing 13 patents (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/apple-countersues-nokia-for-infringing-13-patents/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:55:00 EST.
