In October, Nokia filed a lawsuit against Apple alleging ten patent violations in Apple's iPhone. Now the battle has taken a new direction, with Apple countersuing Nokia over 13 patent violations as well.
Apple has said that companies must compete by inventing their own technology, not stealing Apple's, while Nokia has said that Apple is trying to get a "free ride" from Nokia's innovation.
The alleged patent violations by Apple involve wireless data, speed coding, security, and encryption. Apple has not yet said which patents Nokia allegedly violated.
Nokia alleges that they had agreements with other firms letting them use Nokia's technology, but Apple has not yet signed such an agreement.
