Nokia sues Apple over patent infringement
Posted on 23. Oct, 2009 by Turbo in Business
The Finnish phone maker, Nokia, sues Apple against an infringement issue. Nokia filed a suit against Apple at a district court in US, for patent infringement that involved the iPhone.
According to the Finnish phone manufacturer, these patents include GSM, UMTS, wireless LAN, security, data transfer through wireless networks, encryption and UMTS.
Nokia alleges Apple that it should have sought permission from them and paid in royalty to use these technologies in its iPhone handset.
It seems the Finnish phone giant is looking to seek a patent royalty of about 1-2 per cent (which could be equated to $6 to $12) on every iPhone.
