Nokia throws the book at Apple
Nokia announced on Thursday, 22 October 2009, that it has filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging that Apple's iPhone infringes 10 of Nokia's mobile technology patents.
Filed with the Federal District Court in Delaware, the suit asserts that the iPhone infringes Nokia patents for GSM, UMTS (also known as 3G W-CDMA) and wireless LAN (WLAN) standards covering wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption.
At issue are all Apple iPhone models shipped since the device was introduced in 2007, Nokia said.
Although Nokia hasn't specified monetary damages, they could range from $400 million to $1 billion. Still, the litigation isn't likely to slow Apple down, suggested technology attorney Ray Van Dyke.
