First Nokia vs Apple trials to take place in 2012. Nokia apparently wants $1.3 billion from Apple
By Ilinca Nita on 12 Mar 10The Nokia vs. Apple legal battle over patents won’t be over anytime soon. It looks like the first actual trials will start only in 2012, when a U.S. court should decide which company infringed which patents.
According to Reuters and some unmentioned analysts, Nokia seeks damages in cash of up to $1.36 billion from Apple.
The Finnish phone maker filed a suit against Apple back in October last year, claiming that the Cupertino company’s iPhone infringes 10 of its patents. Apple responded with a countersuit in December, saying that it’s actually Nokia which infringes 13 of its patents. Apple later removed four patents from the claiming, but this has not stopped Nokia to counter-countersuit the iPhone maker with another complaint (also filed in December).
Meanwhile, Apple has also sued HTC, obviously also for alleged patent infringements.
Am I the only one who thinks all this is just a waste of money and time?
