Nokia Corp. said Wednesday it has filed complaints against Apple
Inc. in Germany and the U.S., alleging that Apple products infringe
a number of Nokia patents.
Nokia's actions -- which it said include 32 patents -- have been
filed with the Regional Courts in Düsseldorf, Mannheim and Munich
in Germany and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas. The patents cover technologies such as display, user
interface, software, antenna and video coding. Nokia said it is in
the process of filing further actions in other jurisdictions.
A representative for Apple wasn't immediately reachable to
comment.
"After several years of negotiations trying to reach agreement
to cover Apple's use of these patents, we are now taking action to
defend our rights," said Ilkka Rahnasto, head of patent business at
Nokia.
