Nokia Sues Apple For Patent Infringement In iPhone

AVee writes "Engadget (amongst many others) reports that Nokia is suing Apple because the iPhone infringes on 10 Nokia patents related to GSM, UTMS and WiFi. While the press release doesn't contain much detail, it does state that Apple didn't agree to 'appropriate terms for Nokia's intellectual property,' which sounds like there have been negotiations about those patents."

"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 of Legal & Intellectual Property at Nokia.

Yeah, and the basic principle in the IP industry is that those in the cartel establish standards that limit interoperability so that everyone else will have to pay up or be unable to make working devices. I'm Finnish and I don't like Nokias role in destroying the "information society". I accept that it's a broken system and it's the role of governments to fix it while corporations can only exploit it as best as they can. I still wish Nokia could stay outside this patent trolling bullshit. You're Finnish, not American. Cutthroat capitalism is not acceptable.
