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

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.

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.

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.).

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.

32.
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.

The 181 Patent
34.
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.

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.

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.

When a user receives a message such as a text message or an e-mail message that
includes text in a form that could be used in another application (for example, a telephone
number, designated by reference numeral 12 in the figure above or a URL), the messaging
application recognizes this. 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.

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.

APPLE'S INFRINGEMENT OF THE ASSERTED PATENTS
77.
As discussed in detail below, at least the Accused Products infringe the 091, 181,
256, 957, 036, 735, and/or 789 patents. Information regarding representative Accused Products
discussed below may be found in Exhibits 18-23. The identification of a specific model or type
of electronic device is not intended to limit the scope of the Investigation, and any remedy
should extend to all infringing electronic devices.
A.
Apple's Infringement of the 091 Patent
78.
Apple directly infringes, contributes to infringement, and induces infringement
with respect to at least claims 1-12 of the 091 patent with at least the following electronic
devices: iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS mobile phones (collectively, the "091 Accused Devices").
79.
An exemplary claim chart showing infringement of independent claims 1 and 11
of the 091 patent by the iPhone 3GS mobile phone is attached as Confidential Exhibit 24.
19
1.
80.
Direct Infringement
Apple, directly and through authorized agents, sells and offers for sale the 091
Accused Devices within the United States. Nokia has purchased 091 Accused Devices in the
United States directly from Apple. See Exhibit 31.
81.
On information and belief, Apple sells and offers for sale the 091 Accused
Devices to wireless system operators, distributors, independent retailers, and consumers in the
United States.
82.
On information and belief, Apple imports into the United States at least the 091
Accused Devices.
83.
On information and belief, Apple tests or operates the 091 Accused Devices in the
United States, thereby performing the claimed methods and directly infringing any asserted
claims of the 091 patent requiring such operation.
84.
Therefore, Apple directly infringes at least claims 1-12 of the 091 patent through
its importation for sale, sale after importation, and/or use after importation of certain electronic
devices.
2.
85.
Contributory Infringement
