Apple challenges patent troll targeting Maps navigation: Report

Apple in a counter-complaint filed in California is seeking to nullify a new assertion from patent holdings firm Traxcell, which is suing the tech giant in Texas for alleged infringement of intellectual property covering navigation systems, the media reported on Friday.

Traxcell, a non-practicing entity, sued Apple in January on claims that the company’s Maps product infringes on US Patent Nos. 9,918,196 and 9,549,388.
