Cupertino tech giant Apple is suing SoftBank owned Fortress Investment Group for patent stockpiling. The company is joined by Intel Corporation in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) claims that Fortress and its subsidiaries are responsible for hoarding patents simply for the purpose of suing tech firms. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), for its part, had filed an earlier lawsuit with similar claims against Fortress, but it has now withdrawn the suit and joined forces with Apple.

The suit has been filed in the United States District Court of Northern California, and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has made key disclosures related to Fortress's legal action against the company. The iPhone maker is busy fending off lawsuits from Fortress's subsidiaries Uniloc USA and Uniloc Luxembourg. Both have filed 25 suits against Apple for various technologies present on the company's iPhone and other devices.
