Mobile handset maker, Sony Eircsson, has filed a legal challenge against South Korean Samsung Electronics, for what it calls infringement on several of its cell phone patents.

The patents in question are recognized by the US, UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. Samsung had previously been licensed to use Ericsson’s intellectual property, but this agreement expired on December 31, and negotiations to renew the contract have so far been unsuccessful.

“This is an unfortunate action but we must protect our shareholders and investors as we have invested large amounts in research and development over the years,” said Ericsson spokeswoman, Ase Lindskog.
