Apple is facing copyright infringement lawsuits from Nokia in the US and Germany as a result of a licensing dispute. Apple has filed its own antitrust lawsuit against multiple patent assertion companies that are allegedly trying to collect excessive licensing fees for Nokia's patents.

In its version of the situation, Apple says Nokia transferred its patents to other companies to avoid its FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory) licensing deals.

Nokia's lawsuit simply paints Apple as refusing to set up licensing deals for technologies that are patent-protected.
