Seoul: It seems that Apple and Samsung have no plan to end their war as reports say that Samsung has now planned to strike Apple with new lawsuits if the iPhone5 comes with LTE (Long-Term Evolution) enabled, a feature most important for iPhone’s success.
According to new reports, the Korean technology giant is planning retaliatory action following a recent court verdict in the United States where it was asked to pay about $1.05billion for imitating iPhone designs.
Samsung says it holds the patents for LTE and Apple better not introduce it in the new phone that is expected to be announced on September 12.
This follows Apple’s decision to include Samsung’s new flagship smartphone the Galaxy S3 into the list of phones it wants to be banned terming it a copycat product. This takes the tally of total Samsung products in Apple’s hit list to 21.
According to Korea Times, Samsung is preparing to counter attack Apple in 50 different patent disputes in 10 different countries.
It has also initiated talks with telecom carriers in the US and with Microsoft.
“Samsung has been in talks with major US carriers to jointly develop modified design technology. This will be effective, though we can’t unveil more details for the time being,” the report said quoting an official from the company’s telecommunications division.
