| Nokia sues Apple over patent infringement
Nokia sues Apple for patent infringement | Circuit Breaker - CNET News Nokia is suing Apple over 10 patents the Finnish phone maker says it owns related to wireless handsets.
The largest handset maker in the world is suing the maker of one of the most popular, the iPhone, because, according to a statement released by Nokia on Thursday, Apple has refused to license any of the patents in question. All iPhone models dating back to the original introduced in 2007 are infringing, according to Nokia. Nokia is asking the U.S. District Court in Delaware for an injunction (PDF) on sales of iPhones and for unspecified damages.
Ouch. I can see this dragging in the courts for a while, but if 40 other companies have agreements with Nokia already over these patents, it doesn't look too good for Apple. Unless ofcourse, they can prove that their implementations are somehow different enough, but considering the types of patents we are talking about, I don't see how that would be possible.
