If I were a lawyer, I would specialise in intellectual property rights, and I would base myself in the US.
If you recall, Nokia sued Apple in Oct this year for infringing 10 of its patents. These patents were in relation to GSM, HSDPA and WLAN technologies.
Apple is now countersuing Nokia for infringing their patents too – 13 patents! Apple, however, has yet to declare which were the patents that were infringed.
Duh.
My personal opinion is that it’s really more likely for Apple to be the offender because Nokia has been around for a long time, and they have a lot of technologies patented, even if they never used the technology inside their products.
Anyway, I’m eager waiting to see how the above debacle unfolds in 2010. Phone wars!
