(Telecompaper) Samsung Electronics has filed a lawsuit against Huawei Technologies in China, accusing the Chinese firm of infringing on Samsung's six patents related to mobile phones and digital images. The move is seen as a countermeasure against Huawei after the Chinese electronics firm sued Samsung in May in the US and China over patent infringements, reports Yonhap news agency. In a statement issued in Korea, Samsung criticized Huawei's smartphones and tablets for infringing on its patents for mobile communications technology, data storage for images and others. Samsung also accused Huawei of filing "irrational" patent suits against it.
