Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent have launched a major legal attack on Apple, filing lawsuits in Germany and the US that accuse Apple of infringing 32 patents. According to Nokia's statement, the patents cover technologies that include display, user interface, software, antenna, chipsets, and video coding.
The US lawsuit includes 10 patents and was filed in federal court in East Texas, a venue that's long been favored by patent owners.
