Apple Fights Back ! Countersues Nokia for Infringement of 13 Patents !!
Nope, Apple is not about to take all the beating like a sitting duck in this patent battle against Nokia.

By refusing to agree to appropriate terms for Nokia's intellectual property, Apple is attempting to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation," shared Ilkka Rahnasto, Vice-President of Nokia's Legal and Intellectual Property department.
