Nest Labs Files Counterclaims In Honeywell Suit, Makes Apple?s 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 we?ll keep our company?s focus where it should be ? on developing and delivering great products for our customers.? Grab some popcorn, folks. This is going to get good.
