[ritu 1]

The news of Apple suing Samsung over patent issues is a much hyped story.But now its Apple's turn to face the same kind of allegations. Taiwan University has decided to go ahead with a suit against Apple stating that the tech giant had, with its Siri intelligent assistant,had violated its patent rights. In 2011, a voice activated assistant technology was developed by Apple as it launched the iPhone4S and that has brought in the dispute over the patent issues.

The university named Cheng Kung University, has a team headed by Wang Jhing-fa, which claimed that Apple could be charged with infringement issues of two of its patents which deal with speech recognition, the same technology that Apple used for its iPhone 4S. The team from the university is into designing chips and neural networks that support the technology of speech recognition.

Apple's Taiwan wing hasn't made any comment on this issue yet.

Another similar suit was filed over the Siri intelligent assistant, with similar allegations that it works the same way as it does in Apple's iPhone 4S.this time it was done by a Chinese tech company.

The companies that have achieved so much regarding the progression of technology have somehow turned their focus towards spending time and money in suing one another over patent issues.
