Unwired Planet has reportedly filed parallel infringement suit against Google, Samsung, Huawei and HTC in the patents court of the UK and Germany.

While the patent enforcement entity has filed 30 million euros mobile patent lawsuit in Germany, the company has not yet given an estimate in the Patents Court of the High Court of Justice, London, United Kingdom.

According to Tech Crunch, the UK lawsuit is against Samsung, Google and Huawei and covers six UK patents related to "2G/3G/4G telecommunication standards and push notification technology underpinning the Android ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the lawsuit in Germany also involves HTC and the German equivalents of those same patents.
