Apple May Countersue Nokia
Reports are starting to surface that Apple may go swinging into the battle with Nokia, by filing counter-suits. Reuters says it would not be unexpected for Apple to countersue over patents it believes Nokia is violating. This will most likely be posturing to try and improve their position in the legal fight, rather than any true belief that Nokia was using Apple tech improperly. On the defensive front, Apple will most likely question the validity of Nokia’s patents, to try and get themselves off the hook.
The legal battle is expected to last 2-3 years, and Nokia is expected to try and get $200 million to $1 billion out of Apple.
