Nest Labs Files Counterclaims In Honeywell Suit, Makes Apples Former Chief Patent Counsel A VP
Watch out, Honeywell. Nest Labs is serious. The Palo Alto start-up previously stated that it has the resources to defend itself, which is clearly the case. Just today the company filed Answer and Counterclaims in Honeywell's patent infringement suit against the upstart thermostat company. Nest Labs flat-out denies infringement claims and validity of the seven patents listed by Honeywell. A press released issued today calls the complaint "meritless allegations." It goes on to quote its new vice president and general counsel, Richard Chip Lutton, Jr., who was Apple's former chief intellectual property office, "Instead of filing lawsuits, Honeywell should use its wealth and resources to bring innovative products to market. Nest will defend itself vigorously in court and well keep our companys focus where it should be on developing and delivering great products for our customers. Grab some popcorn, folks. This is going to get good.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/8RMzYExXQLg/
