Nokia Claims Apple Does "Legal Alchemy" To Mask IP Theft
CWmike writes "Nokia asked a federal judge last week to toss out Apple's antitrust claims, saying the iPhone maker indulged in 'legal alchemy' when it tried to divert attention from its infringement of Nokia's intellectual property. The filing was the latest salvo in a battle that began in October 2009 when handset maker Nokia sued Apple, saying the iPhone infringed on 10 of its patents, and that Apple was trying 'to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation.' Apple countered in December with a lawsuit of its own that not only claimed Nokia infringed 13 of its patents, but that Nokia also violated antitrust law by legally attacking Apple after it declined to pay what it called 'exorbitant royalties' and refused to give Nokia access to iPhone patents. 'These non-patent counterclaims are designed to divert attention away from free-riding off of Nokia's intellectual property, a practice Apple evidently believes should only be of paramount concern when it is the alleged victim,' Nokia charged in the motion. Apple is on a legal roll, having also recently sued the maker of Google's Nexus One, HTC, for patent infringement."

Would you care to explain how Nokia's patents are not software patents when they are implemented by software? Care to explain how Nokia has a right to now claim that all of Apple's product line is infringing when Apple has "licensed" WiFi from the standards group? How can Nokia make claims against a company that has legally licensed Wifi technology?
You are retarded.
Apple is shit, their products are shit, and their "users" (zealots) are even bigger shit.
This has nothing to do with WiFi, but you're so much obsessed with iShit, that you can't even read properly anymore.
its science history. if you consider knowing how did we reach this level of civilization trolling, then it is trolling for you, and you should troll.
