Samsung files French patent complaint against Apple

Samsung and Apple continue to fight a heated legal battle overseas. In the latest skirmish, Samsung filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple in France. The complaint claims Apple violates three UMTS patents held by the Korean company. UMTS is a 3G technology used on GSM-based cellular networks.

Samsung targets Apple's 3G-capable mobile devices including the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and the 3G-capable iPad models. The complaint was filed in Paris District Court and the first hearing is scheduled for December.

How can Samsung sue Apple using another companies patents. If Samsung doesn't own the patents then I don't see how them could have standing in a court of law to bring a law suit against Apple. If UTMS feels like Apple is violating a patent they own then they should bring it to court themselves.

I don't blame them, Apple's been pretty rough on them lately. You have to though with the way patent lawsuits are being thrown around these days. You gotta be on the front lines if you wanna come out ahead.
