Samsung Electronics is suing Apple, claiming its rival violated its patent rights, days after Apple accused Samsung of "slavishly" copying designs of its iPad and iPhone.

三星电子欲起诉苹果，称苹果侵犯了其专利权，前不久苹果指责三星“奴隶般地”仿制iPad和iPhone的设计。

Samsung's Galaxy tablet has so far been the top challenger to Apple\s iPad
The patent lawsuits³, filed in South Korea, Japan and Germany, involve infringement⁴（侵犯，违反） of up to five patents, Samsung said in a statement.

Apple filed a lawsuit² against Samsung last Friday for violating its patents.

It is the latest patent dispute in an increasingly competitive industry.

Rivalry⁵ intesifies

"Samsung is responding actively⁶ to the legal action taken against us in order to protect our intellectual property," the statement said.

South Korea's Samsung is one of the fastest-growing smartphone makers⁷ in the telecommunications industry.

Its Galaxy line of smartphones and tablet computers, which use Google's Android operating system, have emerged as the top competitors so far to Apple's iPhone and iPad.

However, Samsung is also one of Apple's main suppliers of components⁸ such as chips and LCD displays.

The legal battle could therefore hurt the earnings⁹ of both companies as strong sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad mean added revenue for Samsung.
