Wow you just cant make this stuff up. To get back at Nokia for suing them, Apple is counter suing Nokia, claiming that they’re infringing on 13 of Apple’s patents.

From the Press Release :

“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.”

“In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone a ground-breaking device that allowed users access to the functionality of the already popular iPod on a revolutionary mobile phone and Internet device… The iPhone platform has caused a revolutionary change in the mobile phone category.

In contrast, Nokia made a different business decision and remained focused on traditional mobile wireless handsets with conventional user interfaces. As a result, Nokia has rapidly lost share in the market for high-end mobile phones…

In response, Nokia chose to copy the iPhone, especially its enormously popular and patented design and user interface.”

Oh Snap !

You can read the entire 79 page PDF over at Engadget.
