Nokia, the world's biggest mobile phone maker1, has said that it is suing its US rival Apple for infringing2 patents on mobile phone technology for the iPhone.
诺基亚,世界上最大的移动电话生产商,正在就iPhone侵犯其移动电话技术起诉对手苹果公司。
Nokia said it had not been compensated6 for(弥补,赔偿) its technology, and accused Apple of "trying to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation".
The 10 alleged patent infringements7 involve wireless8 data, speech coding, security and encryption(加密).
Apple, which did not comment on the news, saw its shares dip slightly,
The breaches9 applied10 to all models of the iPhone since its launch in 2007, Nokia added.
'Basic principle'
Finland's Nokia said that it had agreements with about 40 firms - including most mobile phone handset makers11 - allowing them to use the firm's technology, but that Apple had not signed an agreement.
"The basic principle in the mobile industry is that those companies who contribute in technology development to establish standards create intellectual property, which others then need to compensate5 for," said Ilkka Rahnasto, vice12 president of Legal & Intellectual Property at Nokia.
"Apple is also expected to follow this principle."
He added that during the last two decades, Nokia had invested approximately 40bn euros (£36.2bn; $60bn) on research and development.
Earlier this month, Nokia posted its first quarterly loss in a decade amid falling sales.
Analysts13 said that the poor results had come partly as customers turned from Nokia models to the iPhone and RIM's Blackberry.
Meanwhile, Apple reported profits of $1.67bn (£1bn) in the three months to 26 September - partly due to a 7% growth in iPhone sales.
