Apple Countersues Nokia for Patent Violations

Today, Apple has officially responded to the suit, countersuing Nokia and claiming that the Finnish mobile device maker is infringing on 13 of Apple's patents. Engadget has uploaded the 79-page PDF document, which you can read at your leisure.

I haven't had a chance to read over the entire document, but this excerpt from the second page pretty much sets the tone for the response:

"In dealing with Apple, Nokia has sought to gain an unjust competitive advantage over Apple by charging unwarranted fees to use patents that allegedly cover industry compatibility standards and by seeking to obtain access to Apple's intellectual property. Nokia needs access to Apple's intellectual property because Nokia has copied and is now using that patented technology."

Who doesn't love a good game of "my lawyer can beat up your lawyer?"
