Nokia files new ITC complaint against Apple
Nokia has filed a further complaint with the US International Trade Commission alleging that Apple infringes additional Nokia patents in virtually all of its mobile phones, portable music players, tablets and computers. The seven Nokia patents in the new complaint relate to features in Apple products in the areas of multi-tasking operating systems, data synchronization, positioning, call quality and the use of Bluetooth accessories. Nokia's first complaint against Apple was just rejected by the ITC on 25 March in its initial ruling. Nokia said it disagrees with the ruling, but is waiting to see the full text of the decision before deciding on any futher action. In addition to the two ITC complaints, Nokia has filed cases on the same patents and others in Delaware, US and has further cases proceeding in Mannheim, Dusseldorf and the Federal Patent Court in Germany, the UK High Court in London and the District Court of the Hague in the Netherlands, some of which will come to trial in the next few months. In total 46 Nokia patents are involved.
