Jawbone countersues Fitbit over activity tracker patent ‘abuse’
Jawbone isn’t letting up on its plan to sue Fitbit into oblivion any time soon. The wearable maker has responded to a Fitbit patent lawsuit (itself meant as a response to Jawbone) with a countering suit of its own, accusing Fitbit of abusing its patents in a “plainly meritless” case. Of course, as we’ve seen in previous tech lawsuits, the patents are really incidental here — this is ultimately about pressuring Fitbit into settling a case it might otherwise try to fight in court.
