So, many mobile phones have radio chips that work with UMTS, GSM and WLAN. But Nokia is now using Apple for infringing on ten patent technologies, including UMTS, GSM and WLAN. Apple are still to respond to this lawsuit, but expect fireworks over the next few weeks like with the Google Voice app the Spotify mobile app and the Pre syncing with iTunes. Details of the patents are now out. Five of the patents relate to wireless data:
5802465 - Data transmission in a radio telephone network
6359904 - Data transfer in a mobile telephone network
6694135 - Measurement report transmission in a telecommunications system
6775548 - Access channel for reduced access delay in a telecommunications system
7092672 - Reporting cell measurement results in a cellular communication system
Two of the patents relate to speech coding:
5862178 - Method and apparatus for speech transmission in a mobile communications system
5946651 - Speech synthesizer employing post-processing for enhancing the quality of the synthesized speech
Three of the patents relate to security and encryption. The first two relate to UMTS, while the last relates to UMTS and GSM:
6882727 - Method of ciphering data transmission in a radio system
7009940 - Integrity check in a communication system
7403621 - System for ensuring encrypted communication after handover
Nokia is apparently looking for a 1-2 percent royalty on each iPhone sold, totalling somewhere between $200m and $400m. Ouch!
