Nokia sues Apple ($AAPL) over iPhone

Cell phone giant Nokia Corp. filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc. on Thursday, alleging that its iPhone infringes on its patents. Specifically, the Finland-based company said Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500)'s iPhone violates 10 patents covering wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption. Nokia, which filed the suit in the Federal District Court of Delaware, attests that the technologies have been used in every iPhone model shipped since the smartphone was introduced in 2007. Nokia (NOK) said it has invested more than 40 billion -- about $60 billion -- in research and development during the past two decades and has created "one of the strongest and broadest" patent portfolios in the industry.
