The two electronic giants Nokia and Apple have literally gone on a legal war. First, Nokia slapped Apple with a patent infringement case where they said the iPhone was infringing their 10 patents. Apple’s answer was a countersuit claiming that Nokia infringed 13 patents.

It was quiet till Nokia once more issued a complain to ITC (U.S International trade commission) over patent infringement and now the most recent news is that they appealed to court to ban nearly all of it’s devices from being imported to the U.S.

iPhone’s, iPods and all the Macs are said to be infringing Nokia’s patents and according to the company, the only way to stop is would be banning the products. They are also asking Apple for a huge fine with interest as damages.

Nokia said,

Apple’s acts have caused, and unless restrained and enjoined, will continue to cause, irreparable injury and damage to Nokia for which there is no adequate remedy at law

It’s business and it’s a game. Earlier things like this have worked like Microsoft was slapped by a lawsuit and they had to stop selling Word in U.S till they had made some changes to their software.

We are still waiting for Apple’s answer and it’s obvious that Apple has got a fireball to throw at Nokia soon!
