A court in Delaware US has received a complaint from Nokia insinuating that Apple had infringed upon Nokia patents that cover wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption and that all Apple iPhone models released since 2007 included Nokia’s intellectual property.
There are ten patents that make up this dispute; they all relate to technologies fundamental to making devices, which are compatible with, one or more of the GSM, UMTS 3G WCDMA and wireless LAN standards.

Hows does the use of this patented technoligy effect Nokia, has it benefited Apple to use it?
Just been reading about this:

Looks like Nokia are going after a cut of every iPhone sold which could amount to a fair sum given that it's likely to be another 2 years before any settlement is reached?
One coment suggested that Nokia were playing a dangerous game as if the case goes against them then their own patents could be invalidated.
I was surprised to read this:
“Nokia holds 10,000 patents related to European and global mobile phone technologies”
I didn't think phones were that complicated?
Anyway, we'll see what happens – nice to know it's not just us small fish who like to fight each other.
I doubt Nokia would even go down this route if it haddent been advised its patents where rock solid. I suppose if Apple has infringed Nokia's patents and gets away with it, it could make all patents vunerable.
