Apple accused of bad faith in Ericsson patent royalty talks


The dispute is over how much Apple should pay Ericsson for 5G connectivity and networking technology developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. — AP

Ericsson AB filed a lawsuit Monday accusing Apple Inc of engaging in unfair tactics to avoid paying royalties for the use of baseline 5G telecommunications technology.

Ericsson says it’s trying to renegotiate a license with Apple and is already encountering obstacles. It wants a US federal judge to rule that Ericsson’s offer complies with requirements that royalty demands be fair and reasonable.
