NOKIA again against APPLE
 |
Nokia has filed a patent infringement case against Apple alleging that Apple has infringed on seven of Nokia’s patents relating to multi-tasking operating systems, data synchronization, positioning call quality and the use of Bluetooth accessories.
In a separate case, Nokia had alleged that Apple infringed on five of its patents. The United States International Trade Commission had held that the Apple did not infringe on those five patents.
Several infringement cases between Apple and Nokia are pending before the courts in US, Britain, Germany and Netherlands.

As noted by Alexander Poltorak at GPC: “One cannot help wondering if the latest round [of suits between Apple and Nokia] is not a proxy for a fight between Microsoft and Apple, which are rivals as well.” It’s questionable whether these mobile wars should take place in the courts, in the form of patent litigation, or should be properly restricted to the marketplace, where they rightfully belong. Whatever one’s position on the issue, however, as long as IP rights exist, then patentees have every legal right to enforce them.
