Nokia and Apple in patent law suit spat

12 May 2010
By: Paul Gershlick | Discussion topic: IT, Intellectual Property, Inventions, News, Upload-Commercial/IP/IT

Nokia is suing Apple in Wisconsin for alleged infringement of five of its patents. This action is in addition to another action in Delaware where it is claiming 17 patent infringements. Nokia is claiming that the iPad and iPhone infringe patents relating to transmission of information, using geographical data and antenna technology. It is much easier to obtain patents relating to technology or business methods in the US than in the UK. Many US patents also have a broad application, meaning that many new technologies are caught up in patent law suits.
