A Nokia, 21 reported Wednesday that it has filed several lawsuits that demonstrate 32's patent infringement of its technology by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
According to the lawsuits filed, Apple agreed to pay licenses for some Nokia patents in 2011, but has since declined the charges. At stake are screen patents, user interfaces, software, antennas, chipsets and video encoders.
Through our investment in research and development, Nokia created and contributed to several of the fundamental technologies used in the technology present in today's mobile devices, which includes Apple products. ” said the Ilkka Rahnasto, Chief of the Nokia Patent Business.
The lawsuits involving the violation of 32 patents by the Finnish company have already been submitted to German courts in Dusseldorf, Mannheim and Munich and the District Court of the Eastern District of Texas, USA.
The two companies will therefore continue to await court decisions and the MenosFios will follow the process information to keep your readers informed.
