Apple Counter-Sues Nokia Over Patents 137
adeelarshad82 writes "About two months ago Nokia sued Apple for infringing Nokia patents in its iPhone. The 10 patents in the lawsuit, filed in the US state of Delaware, relate to technologies fundamental for devices using GSM, UMTS and/or local area network (LAN) standards. The patents cover wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption and are infringed by all Apple iPhone models shipped since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. In the latest development to the case, Apple said Friday that it had filed its own suit against Nokia, countering Nokia's claims of patent infringement with its own."

How appropriate, you fight like a company that MILKS its customers out of all their money and then spend half of it on pointless patent debates!

If Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo (CEO of Nokia) wins does he really want to eat Steve Job's liver in front of the angry mob? Given Mr Job's medical history that is kind of gross.

And Apple sues Nokia for what? The process for creating black shiny things?

Here's a crazy idea: in-house lawyers.
Do you know how hard it is to potty train a lawyer?! It's not like a dog or better a cat that makes a bee line for the litter box. Nooooooo!
Lawyers need a big office if they don't have one, they'll shit all over everything. They need an expensive car or they'll pee over everything. And as for food! Oh God!
Just gimme a cat.

Yes, and we could present it as a music video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood, entitled "Two Tribes 2009".

It's a defensive patent. In case someone like another Creative sured them for multi-touch this or that. It's an unfortunate reality of doing business in tech.
So far, I haven't seen Apple sue based on patents pre-emptively. I could be wrong though.

Why not? It's WAY newer than the old one, and I'll bet it would taste much better. Also should be much healthier for you (vs eating the old one)...
