Nokia is supporting Apple in its bid to ban Samsung products that infringe the iPhone maker’s patents.
Last August, a court in the United States ordered Samsung to pay Apple US$1.05 billion (S$1.3 billion) in damages after it ruled that the Korean company had infringed six design patents involving the iPhone and iPad.
The battle between Apple and Samsung is far from over as one accuses the other of copying its products.
Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has also filed a legal brief supporting Apple’s appeal case, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Nokia argues in favour of patent laws as a means of developing technology for public benefit, and states that the court ruling set the standard for getting an injunction so high that “it may rarely, if ever, be met”.
Nokia’s support is particularly interesting considering that the company was itself involved in a patent dispute with Apple in 2009 over technical specifications of the iPhone.
