Qualcomm sues Nokia over several phone patents
A Reuters newswire article by Joseph Giannone and Rex Merrifield, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. has filed a lawsuit against mobile giant Nokia accusing it of infringing a dozen patents related to the most widespread cell phone standard.
Qualcomm said on Monday it wanted Nokia, the world's No. 1 mobile phone maker, to stop selling or producing products in the United States designed for GSM mobile phone networks and that it was demanding financial damages from the Finnish mobile firm.
The suit comes just days after Nokia and five other high technology companies complained to the European Commission about Qualcomm's market practices, accusing it of stifling competition in the third- generation mobile phone chip market. Qualcomm rejected the accusations.
A Nokia spokeswoman said the company had no immediate comment on the Qualcomm lawsuit, which was filed in San Diego Federal Court on November 4.
