Nokia goes to court: Apple allegedly infringed patents with iPhone
Apple is alleged to have infringed on patents held by Nokia, the global leader in the mobile phone market, with its successful iPhone. The Finnish company is now taking Apple to court. On Thursday, Nokia filed a lawsuit against Apple in a court in the U.S. state of Delaware.
The company has invested 40 billion euros in the development of mobile communication standards, explained Nokia in Helsinki. Apple had illegally used ten Nokia patents with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. This involved the use of transmission standards for GSM, UMTS (3G WCDMA) and mobile LAN standards.
Nokia posted losses in the third quarter of 2009 for the first time in 16 years. One of the most important reasons for this is the Finns' lack of success in the particularly profitable and high-growth smartphone business. Apple is ahead here with the iPhone.
