Nokia Beseeches ITC to Ban Apple Products from Europe

Jan 4, 2010, 11:04 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Nokia has stepped up its legal fight against Apple. In addition to the original complaint it filed in October 2009, Nokia has now filed additional legal action with the International Trade Commission. The first lawsuit claimed that Apple's iPhone violates 10 of Nokia's GSM, UMTS and Wi-Fi patents. Apple retaliated with its own lawsuit in December 2009, making similar patent claims against Nokia. Nokia's new complaint expands on the original and names more Apple products that violate its patents. Nokia claims that "most Apple products" violate its patents. Nokia is asking the ITC to ban Apple from importing its iPhone, iPod and MacBook to Europe.

Nokia isn't even a relevant company anymore...

Nokia isn't relevant to the world of mobile devices anymore. They need to croak and stop leaching off of the intellectual property of capitalist companies.

Nokia products are far more superior than Motorola, HTC, Sony, Samsung, Pantech, and Crapple. They are still very strong in Europe. Check your facts first. Thank you.

They are still #2 in sales world wide so you are grossly uninformed. Nokia phones sold in Europe are very advanced but they don't make cdma phones, the dominant system in the US so their sales are limited here..

Considering that Europe follows the model of "What is good for Nokia, is good for Europe", I wouldn't make any assumptions.

Apple & Microsoft have no friends whatsoever across the pond.

Not fair...

It's not like Apple can ask Nokia products to be barred from sale in the U.S. , because nobody here wants them. 🤣
