Apple Slaps Lookalike Lawsuit on Rival Samsung

Apple retaliates against alleged trademark and patent infringements

The lawsuit is the latest addition to an increasingly complicated tangle of lawsuits among smartphone competitors, each vying for recognition of their patent rights to new innovations.
