Swedish telecoms group Ericsson announced Friday a lawsuit against US tech giant Apple claiming that its technology was used in iPhones and other wireless devices despite a lapsed licencing agreement.
"Apple currently uses our technology without a license and therefore we are seeking help from the court and the ITC (International Trade Commission)," Ericsson's head of intellectual property, Kasim Alfalahi, said in a statement.
"Features that consumers now take for granted -- like being able to livestream television shows or access their favourite apps from their phone -- rely on the technology we have developed," he added.

It is related because if Apple were more interested in hiring capable people rather than grinding them down in face to face interviews, they probably would not have to abuse tech patents.
If you are so better informed - how come you missed the connection from the quote?
Btw, you are the one with the poor attitude “already posted”, forcing me to rub your nose in your own dirt.
Can’t post anything to you without you having a complete meltdown. LoL!
Ummm ... I would check your medicine bottle to see if you’ve taken the wrong pills this morning ... LOL ...
Your mom is here. LoL!
It kinda looks like you’re in a melt-down mode right now. Perhaps you should get a few hours of sleep, or take a nap, if you’ve already been asleep.
There are some problems going on here which might be solved by you getting a bit extra rest ... :-) ...
You just might put me to sleep with your boring turn-about (”melt-down”).
Zzzzz
I would be doing you a favor ... :-) ...
I agree, better than reading more of your third grade come-backs. ;)
WOW! A non sequitur, begging the question, and ad hominem, all in one three short paragraphs. Kudos.
You are drunk.
I see no related quotation that justifies the link.
Regardless of who posted it online, this article is almost word for word identical with what's been posted earlier on FR which ultimately links to the Wall Street Journal. They're from the same press release source, contain the exact same quotations, same statement from Ericsson's attorney, the same responses from Apple in the exact same order. . . or didn't you notice? I have already noted seventeen articles on this topic from different news sources, all almost completely identical in content.
Some of you rabid anti-Apple trolls have been complaining about too many Apple threads, or didn't you notice those posts? Shall we start threads for all seventeen because they are different sources? I shall repeat myself, a little louder to get through your thick skull:
THE ERICSSON TOPIC HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED! WHY MUST WE HAVE TWO OR MORE THREADS ON THE SAME TOPIC IN WHICH TO FOLLOW THE COMMENTS?
You asked why I ping to these articles. Simple answer. I ping to these articles because more than SEVEN HUNDRED OF YOUR FELLOW FREEPERS HAVE PERSONALLY ASKED ME TO PING THEM TO APPLE THREADS, that's why. I told them I would. I keep my promises.
Your opinion is out voted.
You are drunk.You know things because you imagine them.
Just observing your childish out of control behavior. You show all the signs of someone who has lost his inhibitions. Your incivility and rude mouth would get you decked in public.
Nope, star traveler’s been receiving your bile in this thread, too. Just thought I should include him in the conversation since you were including him in your insults. It’s only proper netiquette, which you show no glimmer of acknowledging.
Except he/she posted to me first.
Projecting a “medicine” problem, like you project a drinking problem (repeatedly)... I might add.
Our Founder had the appropriate comment for this argument a few days ago: “Don’t like it? Don’t read it.”
I still don’t understand why someone would disparage a thread as already posted, when a person was kind enough to spend the time to post a different source... and then spam their own ping list with: As I posted in the other tread... blah blah blah.
Why the ping?
And why the poor attitude?
I pinged you to let you know that I'm on your side.
If Swordmaker would post his spam inside his Already Posted Ping, that would work!
Apparently you still don't get it.
I was not spamming by posting a considered analysis by someone who has been following the events since the licenses expired and also watched when it happened before, on a thread where some discussion of the news may take place. I do NOT double up the information in a PING to 700 People. . . they've already read it. Obviously since you were unaware of the reasons behind going to court so I sent it to you. Not spam, it was a start for any discussion that still might continue on this thread.
You seemed to think that my fulfilling my normal duties of telling list members this is a secondary thread on a topic that has a thread already running is me taking am "attitude" and a problem of "maturity" and you came off as if you were hurt that your thread was being disparaged as though you had some kind of little kid "ownership" and started throwing a tantrum. You went into full ad hominem ATTACK mode spewing insults when all all I was doing was trying to be helpful to you.
You were the one with the attitude. If you read anything more into my initial posts on this thread, my apologies. I suggest you re-read them looking for malice without your pre-conceived notions.

If you read anything more into my initial posts on this thread, my apologies. I suggest you re-read them looking for malice without your pre-conceived notions.

That is why I posted in this thread stating: Allow me to explain to you again this is a different source...
Instead of you manning up and confirming that this item had not in fact been "already posted"... What I got was the rant of an obvious drunkard meltdown from an emotional Liberal Control Freak with a God complex who needs a skirt to hide behind.
If you sobered up enough to apologize and accept that different sources are not considered "already posted" on this forum, then I am happy to post about Apple.
Imagine if there were more like you (thankfully you are the only one) spamming because a thread was "already posted" about Obama, Clinton or you-name-it. Yet you brag about FAILing for ten years - Lmao!
