根據以往統計，每年歲末之際也是專利侵權訴訟最活躍之時刻，果不其然，智慧型手機大廠龍頭諾基亞(Nokia Inc)與蘋果電腦(Apple Inc)專利侵權戰火，如預期地持續延燒至美國國際貿易委員會(ITC)。2009年12月29日，諾基亞公司於美國Delaware聯邦地院及美國國際貿易委員會同時提出申訴，要求美國國際貿易委員會展開ITC 337調查。
諾基亞指控被告蘋果公司其侵權產品非法進口到美國銷售/或在美國銷售某些電子設備，包括移動電話，便攜式音樂播放器，電腦等產品，宣稱侵犯了諾基亞所擁有的7件美國專利號 US6714091、US6834181、US6895256、US6518957、U6073036、U6262735和US6924789（統稱“所稱的專利”）。本次該7件系爭專利與2009年10月22日於美國Delware聯邦法院提告之10件專利，完全不相同。參考本網站相關文章：【Nokia 控告Apple iPhone侵犯其十項手機專利 】。

本案被指控侵權的蘋果產品，包括：iPhone、iPhone 3G、iPhone 3GS手機、iPod Nano，iPodTouch、iPod Classic便攜式音樂播放器， iMac、Mac Mini、iMac Pro，MacBook上的MacBook Pro和MacBook Air電腦等產品直接侵權，這些誘導侵權所稱侵犯專利，有時稱為”實施的專利(implementation patents)” 。這些“實施專利”，並非必要的與無線通信標準有關，但證實諾基亞自己的產品與那些競爭對手的區隔。據諾基亞稱專利涉及以下發明如下：
- （一）'091專利”涉及到一個可編程的電壓控制振盪器（“振盪器”）的增加效率的無線設備和使用較少的電力比傳統和VCO，從而提高電池壽命“;
- （二）'181專利”涉及結合天線與發話者的手機，以減少手機的外觀尺寸和提高其性能;
- （三）'256專利”涉及到減少整個PCB的晶片數量”，從而降低了電子裝置總體尺寸和功耗的設備;
- （四）'957專利”涉及到解除手機用話中有關觸控面板的啟動;
- （五）'036專利”涉及用戶的指尖於螢幕的“放大鏡或擴大的部分”;
- （六）'735專利”涉及“電子裝置與訊息之間連接的應用程序“;及
- （七）'789專利”涉及”按單個鍵一次輸入數據，並使用觸摸瀏覽應用。
關於行政補救措施，諾基亞要求委員會向蘋果發布永久排除令和永久停止命令定。
根據Gartner統計2009年第三季諾基亞在智慧型手機市場佔有率從2008年第三季的42.3%降至39.3%。而諾基亞於2009年1至9月底在手機部門的營運毛利只剩下11.3%。於是諾基亞期望提高手機部門毛利之下，諾基亞預計在2010年只推出10款智慧型手機，比起2009年高達20款機種的數字，減少了50%。目前諾基亞期望2010年的營運毛利能提昇至12~14%，而且期待應用程式商店Ovi能獲得更多開發者的注意，以強化應用程式的多樣性。
最近，諾基亞努力積極轉型，對於2010年其手機之想法與策略都有些調整，看來全面啟動專利訴訟抵禦蘋果，悍衛其智慧型手機市場也是其策略運用之一。蘋果的態度及策略又如何？如何應對及反擊？看來又是一場精采可期的訴訟之爭。(888字；表2)
