Apple and Nokia Patent Battle Escalates

Apple and Nokia are currently engaged in a high stakes patent dispute which is pending before the U.S. District Court of Delaware. In October, Nokia filed suit claiming Apple infringed ten of its patents relating to wireless technology. Apple counterclaimed that Nokia was infringing a number of its implementation patents dealing with human interface technologies. Products at stake include the iPhone and MacBook.

Nokia has also sought an Order from the United States International Trade Commission, which would prohibit Apple from importing many of its devices which are manufactured overseas. Much rides on this case for Apple, and a reasonable settlement figure would likely involve hundreds of millions of dollars.
