Nokia Claims Patent Violations in Most Apple Products

An anonymous reader writes with an extract from this Associated Press story, as carried by The Globe and Mail: "Nokia is broadening its legal fight with Apple, saying almost all of the company's products violate its patents, not just the iPhone. Nokia Corp. said Tuesday that it has filed a complaint against Apple Inc. with the US International Trade Commission. The Finnish phone maker says Apple's iPhone, iPods and computers all violate its intellectual property rights."

    Nokia has gone from 40 dollar in 2008 down to 10 dollar as of now. Apple has gone from 180 to 210 in the same period. I call the 40 to 10 drop a fall. And the reason I call them pathetic is of there loss combined with there claims. I can all ready smell Darl McBride in the shadows..

  4. Nokia and the hurt bag... by sbeckstead · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nokia has finally opened the hurt bag on itself. They are one of the biggest patent trolls out there and have been bullying all the other phone makers for years and no one had the patent portfolio to stand up to them before. They just might get their products banned for this one. Their usual strategy is to discredit the other manufacturer rather than out compete them and if that fails then the patent hammer gets them.

    Nokia has maintained its dominance by patent trolling. It's a way of doing business for them. No body with a big enough patent pile has challenged them yet.

    F/RAND doesn't mean whatever the fuck you little anti-Apple fucktards want it to mean, it means what the law fucking says it means--you dumb empty vessel of stupid.

    Reasonable and non-discriminatory does not mean "we get to steal all of your technology", you retarded fucking asshat.
