Apple counter sues Nokia

As you may have read on this blog a couple of weeks ago, Nokia is suing Apple. In recent news however, it has come out that apple is counter suing Nokia. The original case was brought to attention because Nokia claimed Apple had violated some of their patents. The counter sue is based upon Apple claiming Nokia is infringing upon 13 of Apples patents. A small excerpt off a PDF on engadget stated this “In dealing with Apple, Nokia has sought to gain an unjust competitive advantage over Apple by charging unwarranted fees to use patents that allegedly cover industry compatibility standards and by seeking to obtain access to Apple’s intellectual property. Nokia needs access to Apple’s intellectual property because Nokia has copied and is now using that patented technology.” This goes to show Apple will not go down without a fight because analysts had predicted that if apple lost the case, they would loose up to 1 billion dollars.
