The U.S. firm Apple has announced Friday, December 11th in a statement it attacked the cons-Finnish manufacturer Nokia, while the latter had filed a complaint October 22 against Apple for patent infringement over the iPhone. According to the California company, Nokia infringed 13 patents filed by Apple.
“Other companies must compete with us in inventing their own technology, not stealing ours,” said Bruce Sewell, general counsel and senior vice president of Apple.
Last October, Nokia filed a complaint in the United States against Apple. The world leader in advanced mobile violates Apple’s iPhone with Nokia ten patents relating to wireless coverage, the encoding of voice, security and encryption. Nokia says that the Apple iPhone infringes these patents since its release in 2007.
