Nokia puts in patent dispute with Apple to

Nokia heats the patent war with Apple once more. The Finns started a fresh application with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ITC, after a judge rejected a push by the company to Apple.

To go there now by 46 patents, Nokia announced. Apple infringed Nokia patents in almost all of its iPhone mobile phones, iPods, iPad tablets and Mac computers, is the sharpest criticism yet of the mobile phone manufacturer.

The new ITC complaint includes seven patents, which involve, among other things, according to Nokia to data synchronization, the use of Bluetooth accessories, and call quality. Nokia had a significant influence in recent decades with the development of mobile phones and GSM wireless standards, and collected over 10,000 patent families.

Apple refuses, according to the Finns, despite repeated requests, licenses to patented technologies from Nokia to purchase. Nokia launched in 2009 a first patent suit against the iPhone manufacturer. Apple countered with its own patent allegations, since then, the companies fight each other in different instances in several countries.

On 25 Nokia in March 2011 suffered a setback: An ITC judge found in a preliminary determination on five Nokia patents that Apple is not violated. With the new Nokia application shows after a few days ago that the arsenal of patents contains enough ammunition for such cases.

The patent war between Nokia and Apple is far from it only in the mobile industry. Nokia itself has for years defended against accusations of German patent exploitation IPCom. The focus of several actions are also a manufacturer of phones with the Google operating system "Android".
