Nokia had filed a patent infringement suit against Apple. Nokia Claims that Apple’s iPhone makes use of 10 patents Nokia holds for GSM,UMTS (3G) and wireless LAN (wifi). They all say that the patents also covers wireless data, security, Encryption and speech coding are infringed upon by all Apple iPhone models, including the original iPhone which was introduced in 2007.

According to Nokia:

“The basic principle in the mobile industry is that those companies who contribute in technology development to establish standards create intellectual property, which others then need to compensate for,” said Ilkka Rahnasto, Vice President, Legal & Intellectual Property at Nokia. “Apple is also expected to follow this principle. By refusing to agree appropriate terms for Nokia’s intellectual property, Apple is attempting to get a free ride on the back of Nokia’s innovation.”
