Nokia is claiming that Apple is unfairly profiting from Nokia’s hard work and €40 billion investment in developing wireless communications technologies with its iPhone. The company has today filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple, alleging infringement on ten of Nokia’s patents related to GSM, UMTS, and WLAN standards.

The ten patents in question cover aspects of 2G and 3G wireless connections, as well as WiFi integrated into mobile phones. Nokia has an extensive patent portfolio, claiming it has “over 10,000 patent families” and has been embroiled in other, related IP litigation with other industry players over the past several years.
