Apple has filed suit against Nokia for infringement of thirteen patents. The indictment is a response to the accusation that Nokia submitted by Apple in October. One of the patents relates to kinetic scrolling.
The patents would be violated especially with S60 devices, the E71 as an example. Nokia would also violate patents mobile phones with S40 and Maemo N900 smartphone. Many of the patents of Apple, which would violate Nokia, are from the nineties.
Apple gets in the indictment also fierce from the Finnish manufacturer: "Nokia has the basic ideas and basic technology of the iPhone copied," he states. "And meanwhile demanded that Nokia would pay for Apple's so-called essential patents of Nokia patents for mobile phones."
Nokia complained to Apple in October because of patent violations ten o'clock. Nokia's patents have mainly to do with wireless technologies like GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and wifi. The Finnish manufacturer says of patents have the necessary elements of the standards. Who one of the techniques to build, would therefore always an agreement with Nokia to close.
Apple denies that the patents are necessary. Furthermore, according to the testimony of iPhone-maker an unfair position as a company holds patents on standards such as GSM and wifi. The patents that Apple has, focus on technical and interface elements. One of the patents describes the "bounce" effect of scrolling through a list on the iPhone: as the end of a list appears and the user tries to scroll again, let the iPhone without an area below the bottom of the list and see "springs" back then.
