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.
