As you may have already heard, Nokia is suing Apple over patent infringements, and thus Apple has stepped up to the mark and is counter-suing Nokia accusing Nokia of patent infringements and anti-competitive practices.

Well according to an article over on financial mirror, Apple has cited both the Nokia E71 which is sold by AT&T, and Nokia’s latest smartphone the high end Nokia N900 as both infringing patents.

In all Apple is suing over 13 patent infringements covering various computer tech which includes touch screen tech, power conversation, teleconferencing and graphical interfaces, all features which have been popularised by their iPhone.

In reply to Apple’s accusations Nokia has stated that it doesn’t change anything fundamental in their original case, and will take time to study Apple’s suit, while a spokesperson for Nokia has said that Apple has infringed Nokia patents since they launched the original iPhone back in 2007.

Analysts believe that although this may continue to drag on for some time, Apple and Nokia will eventually come to some kind of licensing agreement, what that agreement will be we’ll just have to wait and see.
