Nokia also requests a permanent cease and desist order prohibiting Apple from importing, admitting or withdrawing from a foreign trade zone, marketing, advertising, demonstrating, warehousing inventory for distribution, distributing, offering for sale, selling, licensing, repairing, maintaining, updating, using, or transferring outside the United States for sale in the United States infringing electronic devices. II. THE COMPLAINANTS A. Nokia Corporation 6. Nokia Corporation was founded in 1865 and is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones. Nokia is one of the champions of wireless communications and has received numerous awards and accolades for its achievements, including introducing the first car phone on the first international cellular mobile network in 1981. 7. Nokia's innovations have continued throughout the wireless era to the smart phones of the present day. In 1991, the world's first genuine call on the Global System for Mobile communications ("GSM") was made with a Nokia phone. In 1996, Nokia introduced the Nokia 9000 Communicator, which was the first all-in-one phone, fax, calendar, e-mail, and Internet device in a hand-portable size. The Nokia 811 Oi, introduced in 1997, was the first mobile phone with a dynamic menu supporting Smart Messaging. Just two years later, Nokia introduced the Nokia 7110 - the first mobile phone compliant with Wireless Application Protocol 1.1 - which provided access to mobile Internet services, such as banking, e-mail, and news, as well as the first phone with predictive text input. 8. In 2001, Nokia made the world's first 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System ("UMTS") voice call on a commercial system. In 2002, Nokia introduced the world's first UMTS/GSM dual mode phone and launched in Europe the Nokia 7650, its first imaging 2 phone with an integrated camera and the first Nokia phone to record video simultaneously with sound. The Nokia 5140, launched in 2003, was the first Push-to-Talk GSM handset. In 2006, Nokia introduced the N95, which was the first device with built-in Global Positioning System ("GPS") technology. In 2008, Nokia released the E71, the world's slimmest smart phone. 9. Research is one of the keys to Nokia's success. As of December 2008, Nokia had a research and development presence in 16 countries and employed over 39,000 people in research and development alone. Through over 40 billion Euros in cumulative research and development investment, Nokia has achieved the innovations found in the Asserted Patents - all of which were developed in-house and in over 11,000 other patent families in its portfolio. Nokia continues to be a leader in mobile communications worldwide, investing nearly 6 billion Euros in 2008 for research and development. B. Nokia Inc. 10. Nokia Inc. is a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business in White Plains, New York. Nokia Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia Corporation. 11. Nokia Inc. currently employs nearly 3,000 people throughout the United States, including over 1,000 people who work in research and development in facilities across the United States. In 2008, Nokia Inc. had over $1 billion in sales in the United States. 12. Further information regarding Nokia Corporation and Nokia Inc. may be found in Exhibit 15, which includes Nokia Corporation's 2008 Form 20-F. III. THE PROPOSED RESPONDENT APPLE INC. 13. Proposed Respondent Apple Inc. is a corporation existing under the laws of the state of California, with its principal place of business at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California 95014. 3 14. Apple is in the business of importing and selling electronic devices, including mobile phones, portable music players and computers. 15. Further information regarding Apple may be found in Exhibit 16, which includes Apple's 2008 Form 10-K. IV. THE TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS IN ISSUE 16. The Asserted Patents are a reflection of the breadth of Nokia's extensive dedication and investment in technology. Ever since Nokia's first car phone in 1981, Nokia has continuously endeavored to make the world's best mobile phones and enhance the user's experience with diverse and advanced functionality. Whether it is designing more efficient mobile phones that use less power, manufacturing the world's slimmest smart phones, or developing some of the first touch screen products, Nokia has taken great strides to stay ahead of its competition. Nokia's innovations have been applied in many electronic devices other than mobile phones, such as portable music players and computers. 17. Mobile phones have come a long way since the car phones and briefcase phones of the 1980s. Today's mobile phones are small and typically weigh less than five ounces. While consumers demand smaller and lighter mobile phones, they also want their phones to have long battery life. One of the limiting factors on mobile phone size has always been the battery. In order to maximize the life of a given sized battery, it is important to incorporate power saving techniques into the mobile phone. As explained below, the 091 patent relates to a programmable voltage controlled oscillator ("VeO") that increases the efficiency of the wireless device and uses less power than traditional veos, thereby increasing battery life. 18. Another limiting factor on mobile phone size has been the antenna and speaker assemblies. As explained below, the 181 patent involves combining the two assemblies to save space. In the 181 patent, the combined assembly is further improved because it contains multiple 4 acoustic cavities that improve the sound quality of a hands-free speaker. This patented technology is valuable to reducing the overall size of the phone while increasing its performance. 19. Most oftoday's mobile phones, including Apple's iPhone, have a camera. Apple's MacBook computers also have a built-in camera, and earlier this year, Apple added a camera to its iPod Nano portable music player. Cameras add to the size and weight of the electronic device. The 256 patent involves reducing the overall chip count on the printed circuit board. This patented technology is valuable in reducing the overall size of the electronic device and its power consumption. 20. Many oftoday's wireless electronic devices, including the iPhone mobile phone and the iPod Touch portable music player, are used for a wide variety oftasks, such as sending email, browsing the Internet, and downloading applications. From a very early date, Nokia recognized that a touch screen could be used to enter information to the electronic device. But touch screens have their own challenges. The 957 patent involves deactivating the touch screen during phone calls so that information is not accidentally inputted via the touch screen when the phone is pressed against the ear. The 036 patent makes it easier to input information using a finger by magnifying or expanding the selected portion of the screen. These patented features are valuable to improving the appeal and performance of electronic devices with touch screens. 21. E-mail, text messaging, and other electronic communications have become a fundamental part of our lives, and Apple's computers, mobile phones, and even the iPod Touch portable music player now have applications that involve electronic messaging. Nokia has been an innovator in creating new and useful features for communicating electronically. The 735 patent introduced a way to link to other applications on electronic devices through an electronic message. When a message is received that includes, for example, a phone number, the 735 5 patent makes it possible to easily select that phone number to launch a corresponding phone application. This patented technology has become a feature we use on a daily basis to increase the integration of all of the different applications on our computers and other devices. 22. Electronic devices use a variety of input devices to enter text and commands. Apple's products, such as its iPod Nano and iPod Classic portable music players, have a clickwheel interface that allows a user to interact with the device in more than one way. Nokia has long been an innovator in creating new and different ways for a user to interact with electronic devices. The 789 patent introduces a way to both press a key to enter data, and to use a touch sensitive input to navigate through applications. This patented technology is used in devices such as mobile phones and portable music players to provide a more advanced user interactive experience. 23. The Asserted Patents are sometimes referred to as "implementation patents" (as opposed to "essential patents"). Implementation patents are not essential to any relevant wireless communication standards, and, therefore, do not implicate contractual licensing obligations required by membership in many wireless communication standard setting organizations. Nokia's implementation patents - including the Asserted Patents are particularly important to Nokia's success because they permit Nokia to differentiate its products from those of its competitors. 24. On December 11, 2009, Apple accused Nokia of infringing patents that Apple claims relate to mobile phones? Apple's allegations boast that it "produced cutting-edge, technologically superior, and user friendly devices" - including its iPhone line of mobile Apple Inc.'s Answer, Defenses, and Counterclaims, Nokia Corporation v. Apple Inc., C.A. 09-791 (D. Del.). 2 6 phones. 3 Yet many of Apple's alleged innovations result from technology first invented and patented by Nokia. For example, among the "cutting-edge" technologies in its iPhone, Apple touts a "3-megapixel camera" and "longer battery life.,,4 But Nokia had incorporated a camera in a mobile phone as early as 2002 - five years before the iPhone was introduced. The camera incorporated in Apple's iPhones even appropriates a Nokia invention claimed in the 256 patent. Similarly, Apple is able to extend the battery life on its iPhone by using Nokia's powerefficiency invention found in the 091 patent. Furthermore, Apple reduces the iPhone's size and boosts its speaker performance by housing the phone's speaker and acoustic cavities in the same space as the antenna, as described in Nokia's 181 patent. 25. Apple also claims to have incorporated features to make its iPhone "user friendly," but those features are also based on technology invented and patented by Nokia. For example, the touch screen in the iPhone is deactivated during a phone call as claimed in the 957 patent, and the iPhone magnifies selected characters using the invention of Nokia's 036 patent. And while Apple purports to have "foreseen" the "convergence" of the mobile phone with computers to produce the "smartphone,,,5 it was Nokia that first adapted many of the computerrelated features to mobile phones that Apple now imitates, such as launching applications as disclosed in the 735 patent. 26. Apple's unauthorized use of Nokia's inventions is consistent with a long-standing Apple corporate tradition. In 1996, Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs appeared in the PBS documentary, "Triumph of the Nerds," and freely acknowledged Apple's use of other's ideas. 3 4 5 Id. at Answer ~ 5. Id. at Counterclaims ~ 19. Id. at Answer ~ 5. 7 "Picasso had a saying," Jobs stated in the interview, "'good artists copy, great artists steal.'" Jobs then added, "and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas. ,,6 V. THE ASSERTED PATENTS AND NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTIONS THEREIN7 A.

In wireless communication devices, a circuit called a voltage controlled oscillator is used to generate high frequency radio signals. At the transmitter, the high frequency signal is used to "carry" the information to the receiver. At the receiver, the high frequency signal is used to remove the "carrier signal" to recover the original information. Traditionally, VCOs operated at a constant power level that wasted energy and drained battery life. 33. While working to improve Nokia's mobile phones, the inventors of the 091 patent devised a VCO whose output power is controlled or regulated by a micro-controller. As shown in Figure 1 of the 091 patent (reproduced below), a micro-controller (element 16) controls the output of the VCO assembly (element 3). The VCO provides more output power when needed, and less power when not needed, such that the battery life of the phone is extended. Use of this invention allows Nokia to make smaller, more efficient mobile phones with longer battery life. FIG. 1 Reference oscillator Micro-processor 6 10 I 13 Programmable Divider L 11-__ r(; J.

U.S. Patent No. 6,34,181, entitled "Mobile Communication Device and Related Construction Method," issued on December 21, 2004 to inventors Terho Kaikuranta, Seppo 9 Salminen, Heikki Halkosaari, and Jussi Hakunti. The 181 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No 10/099,476, filed on March 13,2002. The 181 patent expires on March 13, 2022 plus a patent term extension of 314 days. 35. A certified copy of the 181 patent is attached as Exhibit 2. 36. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 181 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 181 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices C and D, respectively. 37. The 181 patent has 15 claims, 4 of which are independent claims. Complainants are asserting claims 1-6 and 8. 38. Not only is there an increased demand for smaller and lighter mobile telephones, but there is also an increased demand for mobile telephones with high quality hands-free ("HF") speakers. However, in order for a HF speaker to work properly there needs to be a certain amount of air around the speaker. The inventors of the 181 patent recognized that by combining the antenna and speaker assemblies and creating multiple acoustic cavities around the speaker they could make both the antenna and speaker perform better without increasing the overall size of the device. 39. As shown in Figure 1 of the 181 patent (reproduced below), traditionally the antenna was located in a different location than the HF speaker. As shown in Figure 5 of the 181 patent (also reproduced below), the inventors of the 181 patent recognized that by placing the antenna in the same space as the HF speaker while dividing the speaker space into multiple acoustic cavities, the sound quality of the HF speaker is increased without increasing the size of the mobile phone. 10 lO\. FIG. 1 PRlORART 40. In the figures above, Figure 1 represents a prior art design and Figure 5 depicts an embodiment of the invention. The antenna is represented by reference numeral 16 in Figure 1 and reference numeral 242 in Figure 5. The speaker space is represented by reference numeral 50 in Figure 1, and reference numeral 246 in Figure 5. In Figure 1, the antenna 16 is in a separate area from the speaker space 50. In Figure 5, the antenna 242 shares the same space as the speaker 232. The speaker space is divided into multiple acoustic cavities (246 and 222). Using this innovative speaker arrangement, Nokia is able to make some of the world's smallest and lightest mobile phones, while still providing excellent hands-free operation and speaker audio quality. D. The 256 Patent 41. U.S. Patent No. 6,895,256, entitled "Optimized Camera Sensor Architecture for a Mobile Telephone," issued on May 17,2005 to inventors Esa Harma and Kristian Vaajala. The 256 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No. 091732,316, filed on 11 December 7,2000. The 256 patent expires on December 7, 2020 plus a patent term extension of 535 days. 42. A certified copy of the 256 patent is attached as Exhibit 3. 43. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 256 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 256 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices E and F, respectively. 44. The 256 patent has 21 claims, 1 of which is an independent claim. Complainants are asserting claims 1, 3, 6-10, 14, and 16. 45. As electronic devices are increasingly used to provide additional functionality to consumers, manufacturers are continually challenged to find ways of incorporating these additional features in the limited space available within the device. Cameras are one such feature. Nokia has devoted considerable resources to developing ways to implement certain camera functionalities in portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, while minimizing the space and energy consumed by such additional functionality. Traditionally, adding camera functionality required adding additional chips to the printed circuit board, which increased the size and power consumption of the device (see Figure 1 of the 256 patent (reproduced below)). 46. As shown in Figure 2 of the 256 patent (also reproduced below), the inventors of the 256 patent recognized that by integrating many of the features onto a single chip that communicates with a mobile processor, they could retain all of the features of a camera while reducing the size and power consumption of the overall device. 12 10~ rSingle·chip \ Camera Module Control Bus Signal tOO~ rlRFilter (26 ITiming Generator: I 12 CMOS Image Sensor CIF or VGA ~I MEMORY ~I) DSP I AGC ...,.

In the Figures above, Figure 1 shows a number of camera components in a number of different chips. Figure 2 of the 256 patent shows a single-chip camera module (reference numeral 106) that performs a number of different functions in communication with a separate mobile terminal processor (reference numeral 108). This invention has allowed Nokia to build mobile phones with advanced camera functionality in some of the world's smallest and lightest phones. E. The 957 Patent 48. U.S. Patent No. 6,518,957, entitled "Communications Device with Touch Sensitive Screen," issued on February 11,2003 to inventors Kari Lehtinen and Kai Kronstrom. The 957 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No. 09/634,739, filed on August 8, 2000. The 957 patent expires on December 26, 2020. 49. A certified copy of the 957 patent is attached as Exhibit 4. 13 50. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 957 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 957 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices G and H, respectively. 51. The 957 patent has 25 claims, 6 of which are independent claims. Complainants are asserting claims 1, 10-13, 16, 19, 22, and 25. 52. Touch sensitive screens have recently become popular in portable devices. However, when a touch screen is used in a mobile phone, the touch screen can be accidentally triggered when the screen of the device is placed against the user's ear while talking on the phone. 53. Roughly a decade ago, the inventors of the 957 patent wanted to improve the touch screens for Nokia's mobile phones. They recognized that the user's ear may accidentally enter information while the phone is pressed against the ear during a call. The 957 invention disables the screen during a phone call to prevent such accidental data entry. As a pioneer in touch screen mobile applications, Nokia was the first to recognize and implement touch screen features that made the use of touch screens practical in mobile phones. F. The 036 Patent 54. U.S. Patent No. 6,073,036, entitled "Mobile Station with Touch Input Having Automatic Symbol Magnification Function," issued on June 6,2000 to inventors Teuvo Heikkinen, Petri Piippo, HaITi Wikberg, Miika Silfverberg, Panu Korhonen, and HaITi Kiljander. The 036 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No. 08/847,796, filed on April 28, 1997. The 036 patent expires on April 28, 2017. 55. A certified copy of the 036 patent is attached as Exhibit 5. 14 56. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 036 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 036 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices I and J, respectively. 57. The 036 patent has 19 claims, 2 of which are independent claims. Complainants are asserting claims 1,3,6,8-10,13,17, and 19. 58. While touch screens have become increasingly popular in electronic devices, it can sometimes be difficult to enter information without a traditional keyboard. Often there is not enough space on the touch screen to display the full QWERTY keyboard and still provide enough space for the user's fingertip to access the desired key. 59. Early touch screen devices required the user to use a stylus to select the desired key. As shown in Figure 5B of the 036 patent (reproduced below), the inventors of the 036 patent recognized that they could reduce the need for a stylus by magnifying or expanding the portion of the screen pressed by the user's fingertip.

When a user places a finger on a desired key, it becomes larger so that the user can more easily identify the symbol that is about to be inputted. Nokia's innovation allowed 15 touch screens to be used in the minimal space afforded for the user interface in mobile devices by enhancing the user's interaction with the device and simplifying data entry. G. The 735 Patent 61. U.S. Patent No. 6,262,735, entitled "Utilizing the Contents ofa Message," issued on July 17,2001 to inventor Esa Etelapera. The 735 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No. 091185,782, filed on November 4, 1998. The 735 patent expires on November 4,2018. 62. A certified copy of the 735 patent is attached as Exhibit 6. 63. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 735 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 735 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices K and L, respective Iy. 64. The 735 patent has 10 claims, 2 of which are independent claims. Complainants are asserting claims 1-3 and 7-10. 65. As computers and mobile devices have evolved, the number of applications on these devices has increased. In addition, there has been an increased desire for interactivity among these applications. For example, a user may receive information in one application that he wishes to use in another application. 66. With early messaging applications, a user could receive information in a message that could be used in another application, such as a URL to use in a web browser or a phone number to use with a phone. But, to use that information, one would either need to remember it or write it down before exiting the messaging application to launch the other application. The inventor of the 735 patent realized the need to increase interactivity between applications on a computer or device. 16 / I "" / '\ I / I "Lets have a meeting nE COPt Menu Pas e meeting room Red.

Nokia's innovation allows a user to launch directly to the other application using the information in the message itself. The 735 invention saves the user time and makes the device easier to use. H. The 789 Patent 68. U.S. Patent No. 6,924,789, entitled "User Interface Device," issued on August 2, 2005 to inventor Andrew Raymond Bick. The 789 patent issued from United States Patent Application Serial No. 09/942,373, filed on August 29,2001. The 789 patent expires on August 29, 2021 plus a patent term extension of 609 days. 69. A certified copy of the 789 patent is attached as Exhibit 7. 70. A certified copy of the prosecution history of the 789 patent and copies of each reference cited in the 789 patent and prosecution history are included in Appendices M and N. 71. The 789 patent has 35 claims, 7 of which are independent claims. Complainants are asserting claim 5. 17 72. The number of applications and ways to interact with an electronic device have increased greatly. Often, the types of applications demand different ways to interact with the device at different times. 73. Early electronic devices only had one type of input device for a user. But new and different applications demand different types of interfaces, even as devices continue to get smaller. The inventor of the 789 patent invented a way to use one user input device in two different ways. 18a 17 9 27 C-sensing interface L -_ _ _ _~ 21 ::~~=~20 28 • • 26 29 Key 30 interfafe 31 / 8 74. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 4 of the 789 patent above, a user can interact with the device in two ways. First, the user input has dome contacts (reference numeral 32) that provide a "snap" tactile response when the user depresses the key. Second, the interface also has an impedance sensor, designated by sensing plates 20 and 21. The impedance sensor provides a touch sensitive interface for the user to navigate through menus, selections, and other interactive applications. 18 I.
