“In Oct. 2009, when Nokia first complained in a U.S. federal court that Apple had infringed on 10 of its telecommunications patents, the case could be summarized in a fairly simple chart,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Forbes.
“Fourteen months later, that relatively straightforward patent dispute has escalated through suits and countersuits into a legal battle of Dickensian complexity now being fought in seven different venues, from Delaware to Dusseldorf,” P.E.D reports.

To some it may not be enough information, but it’s a more detailed documentation of that dispute than anyone else has published so far.
