Apple and Nokia are friends again
Apple and Nokia are no longer locked in a legal duel. The two companies announced on Tuesday that they "settled all litigation related to their intellectual property dispute and agreed [to] a multi-year patent license." The legal suit in question is from December 2016, when Nokia sued Apple in the United States and Germany, alleging 32 types of patent infringement. Nokia claimed Apple used a lot of technology in the iPhone that Nokia developed, such as user interfaces and mobile device displays.
