“Nokia has filed a third complaint, alleging that Apple’s infringing on several ‘implementation patents’ that covers everything from camera sensors to touchscreens,” Tricia Duryee reports for mocoNews.
“The complaint is the second one filed with the International Trade Commission,” Duryee reports. “In the filing with ITC last week, Nokia alleged that ‘Apple infringes Nokia patents in virtually all of its mobile phones, portable music players, and computers.’ Previously, Nokia sued Apple in federal court, as well.”
Duryee reports, “In this complaint, Nokia asks the ITC to consider banning imports of Apple products, including the MacBook and iPhone.”

MacDailyNews Take: Can’t compete? Litigate.
If true, what took them so long to notice?
The Nokia option….. uke your competition and hope the fall out does not affect you!
Happy New year one and all!!!!
Geez, they’re getting hysterical!
Desperate much?
Yes. All of Finland will now be sheltered from Apple Products and Nokia will have total dominance… in Finland.
Too busy with there head up their ***!
Fill in the blanks!
Hey, Apple is a niche producer, if they sell a phone- how can they be better than us (Nokia).
I think the market share numbers really cross eyed them. While stunned, medical (Lawyers) rushed to find the cause of the blackout and went to render (litigate) aid until full recovery has been achieved.
Oh my gaud, is this desperation or what? I don’t think the alleged use of some patents is what is making Apple more successful than Nokia. It is design and execution. The cold has finally gotten to their wee little brains it seems.
what a hysterical bitch
Wow, that’s the way to win hearts and minds, Nokia. I’m sure all of Apple’s customers are just fine and dandy with you trying to prevent them from getting the products they want. I’m sure they’ll all flock to your side.

So this is how Nokia is going to “match” Apple by 2011??
Nokia = L
Wow, they’re scared. Really scared.
When will the proposed ban be lifted – in 2011?

Peace.
Well, Apple would like to ban all Nokia products being sold in North America because they are violating Apple’s patents as well.
But, alas, Apple couldn’t find any Nokia products being sold here.
Five years or more since Apple started shipping Macs with built-i iSight cameras, probably seven or so since the external iSight and now it becomes a pawn in a patent dispute.
As for any GSM, UMTS or Wi-Fi patents that are breached in the iPhone, surely they are chips made and licensed by third-parties like Infineon, Marvell and Triquint.
Well done Nokia on the assult on CRAPPLE and hope they will learn that no one is above the law on IP infridgements not even CRAPPLE

I wonder how many iPhones have been sold in Finland?
And another thing!
I could have sworn that there was a general consensus of contempt when the iPhone was launched from people like Palm, Nokia, Microsoft and others.
10 million units a year was what they heard and – at the time it didn’t concern them.
But as the iPhone heads towards 10-12 million units per quarter – which is still only around 4% of the total global market for phones – the squealing starts.
What this proves is the absolute genius of Apple’s product development and marketing strategies: basically anywhere between 4% and 10% is bit of the market that generates proft, the rest of it is worthless channel-stuffing, pile ’em high, sell ’em cheap nonsense.
hope they will learn that no one is above the law on IP infridgements
Infridgements? Really?

In contract bridge this is a shutout response to Apple’s response to Nokia’s opening bid of “one no-trump” after asking Apple for all their cards failed. Fortunately, bids like this usually lose the game.
Bye-bye, Nokia. Been nice knowin’ ya…
Are the recent legal screams from Nokia the sound of a dying company?
Or simple a lack luster company seeking to correct forA lack of comment to R & D?
Nokia probably knows that Apple knows they want to bring a rip-off of the iPhone to market and in preparation of that want to make the preemptive strike… Apple has them probably by the balls with all the patents for the multi-touch.
Its all part of the general dysfunctional structure of large corporations worldwide that stifle innovation and creativity.
If Apple are using Nokia patents without permission, then Apple needs to pay the price (of the patents).
Can’t go around using other people patents without permission.
Apple protect their patents religiously.
2010, end of the world!
No more Smart Phones, no more Microsoftie. Nokia banned them all!!!
Fat chance Nokia!!!!!
