Nokia Oyj, the world’s largest phone maker, sued rival Apple Inc., claiming infringement of 10 patents and seeking back royalties on the 33.7 million iPhones sold since the device’s introduction in 2007.
Nokia said in a complaint filed today in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, that all Apple iPhone models use Nokia’s technology for wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption. Nokia has made efforts to license the technology to Apple, which has “refused to compensate Nokia,” the Finland- based company said in the lawsuit.
