Apple filed suit against Samsung over earlier this week alleging patent infringements. Samsung vowed to fight back, and has made its first move: a countersuit against Apple.

Just as Apple alleged that the Galaxy devices infringe on its patents, Samsung claims that Apple products infringe on Samsung patents.

In other words, Apple said: "Stop copying us," and Samsung said: "No, you stop copying us."

Sound familiar? It should. Apple and Nokia did the same thing a couple of years ago when they fought over mobile phone patents.

Do you agree?
