Nokia sues Apple again for patent infringement

Nokia on Friday filed another patent infringement lawsuit against Apple, claiming the iPhone 3G devices infringe on five of its patents.

Filed in the Federal District Court in the Western District of Wisconsin, Nokia said the patents relate to technologies for enhanced speech and data transmission, using positioning data in applications and innovations in antenna configurations that improve performance and save space, allowing smaller and more compact devices.

“Nokia has been the leading developer of many key technologies in mobile devices” said Paul Melin, General Manager, Patent Licensing at Nokia. “We have taken this step to protect the results of our pioneering development and to put an end to continued unlawful use of Nokia’s innovation.”

Nokia first sued Apple last October for infringing on its patents, but Apple countered with a lawsuit of its own saying that Nokia infringed on 13 of its patents. A federal judge put the battle on hold in March while the International Trade Commission had time to look into the case.

Nokia has been losing marketshare,brand appeal and pricing power in the mobile phone market since it reached its peak with Motorola self destructing.After that it has been a downhill story for the company as you can read in my earlier posts. Now it seems that the Company has already realized that it is a low probability event to win back its mobile phone marketshare . Instead its trying to extract patent revenue from the winners. Apple is The Company to beat in the Smartphone market with the iconic iPhone.Nokia is trying to instead extract money by suing its rivals since it can’t make too much money by building products through it patents.These patent battles are extremely complex with both companies having a huge number of patents to fight with.Usually leads to a settlement after years of litigation.Mostly lawyers get rich.Read more athttp://www.greenworldinvestor.com

I don't know who "pioneered the development" by Apple made it work, got it into the market in a form that people bought and continue to buy.

I invented the iPhone years ago in my youth playing in my imagination, do I have a claim on it too?

Apparently you do have a claim. Please have your lawyer contact Nokia and Apple

@ Abhishek,

Nokia is still the major player worldwide, their market share is staggering. But if you claim they are suing Apple because of reduced market share, then why is Apple suing HTC? Same reason I suppose.

Apple has very little market penetration, for example in the US they are only on the AT&T network.

Last I checked, Symbian OS (Nokia) is still by FAR #1 in market share. Android is lording it over Apple now, so I'm sure it's simply for "douchebaggery".

In my opinion Patent is a set of exclusive rights granted to the innovator to safeguard his interests for the next 20 years or so, when no one else can copy the product or has to pay royalties to do so. As Nokia sues Apple again for patent infringement I agreed with that “Nokia has been the leading developer of many key technologies in mobile devices” as said by Paul Melin,
