"This is not the first time that Nokia has sued Apple over its iPhone technology. The company launched legal proceedings against its smartphone rival in October last year, claiming that the iPhone's screen, encryption and security breach 10 Nokia patents.Nokia also filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission last year, claiming that the iPhone infringed seven of its patents.Apple has remained quiet on all the Nokia claims, but has filed its own countersuit claiming infringement of 13 patents.
