Qualcomm sues Nokia over patents

Mobile phone technology firm Qualcomm is suing handset giant Nokia, alleging infringement of 12 patents, according to an article in the BBC.

"Qualcomm dominates the market for both the technology and chips needed for 3G data services such as internet downloads and video calls.

The San Diego-based firm is demanding that Finland's Nokia stops selling phones in the US that infringe its patents, and also wants compensation.

Nokia, which has complained about Qualcomm to the EU, did not comment."
