=== Nokia–Apple patent dispute === In October 2009, Nokia filed a lawsuit against [[Apple Inc.]] in the [[United States District Court for the District of Delaware|U.S. District Court of Delaware]] claiming that Apple infringed on 10 of its patents related to wireless communication including data transfer.<ref name="Nokia-Apple">{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE60H05R20100118?type=marketsNews|title=SCENARIOS-What lies ahead in Nokia vs Apple legal battle|last=Virki|first=Tarmo|date=18 January 2010|agency=Reuters|access-date=25 January 2010}}</ref> Apple was quick to respond with a countersuit filed in December 2009 accusing Nokia of 11 patent infringements. Apple's general counsel, [[Bruce Sewell]] went a step further by stating, "Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours." This resulted in a legal battle between the two telecom majors with Nokia filing another suit, this time with the [[United States International Trade Commission|U.S. International Trade Commission]] (ITC), alleging Apple had infringed its patents in "virtually all of its mobile phones, portable music players and computers".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theandroid.in/nokias-new-patent-suit-against-apple/|title=The war of the Smartphones: Nokia's new patent suit against Apple|date=6 January 2010|work=Smartphone Reviews|access-date=25 January 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709014240/http://www.theandroid.in/nokias-new-patent-suit-against-apple/|archive-date=9 July 2015}}</ref> Nokia went on to ask the court to ban all U.S. imports of the Apple products, including the [[iPhone]], [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]] and [[iPod]].
