NOKIA'S AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES TO APPLE'S COUNTERCLAIMS First Defense (Non-Infringement) Apple is not entitled to any relief against Nokia because Nokia has not directly or indirectly infringed any valid claim of the '074 Patent, '369 Patent, '795 B1 Patent, '703 Patent, '034 B1 Patent, '381 B2 Patent, '854 Patent, '453 B2 Patent, '105 Patent, and '453 B2 Patent as purportedly corrected by a June 8, 2010 Certificate of Correction (collectively, the "Apple Asserted Patents"). Second Defense (Invalidity) One or more of the claims of the Apple Asserted Patents are invalid for failing to meet one or more of the requisite statutory and decisional requirements and/or conditions for patentability under Title 35 of the United States Code, including without limitation, §§ 101, 102, 103, and 112. Third Defense (Unenforceability) One or more of the Apple Asserted Patents are unenforceable against Apple because of estoppel, laches, waiver, unclean hands, and/or other applicable equitable doctrines. Nokia denies the allegations contained in Paragraph 285 of Apple's Nokia denies the allegations contained in Paragraph 284 of Apple's - 40 - Fourth Defense (Limitation of Damages) Apple's right to seek damages is limited, including without limitation by 35 U.S.C. §§ 286 and 287. Fifth Defense (License and Patent Exhaustion) Apple's claims for patent infringement are precluded in whole or in part (i) to the extent that any allegedly infringing products or components thereof are supplied, directly or indirectly, to Nokia by any entity or entities having express or implied licenses to the Apple Asserted Patents and/or (ii) under the doctrine of patent exhaustion. Sixth Defense (Waiver) Apple has waived its right to assert that Nokia may not seek an injunction for Apple's infringement of Nokia's essential patents. Seventh Defense (Estoppel) Apple is estopped from alleging that Nokia engaged in anticompetitive misconduct by failing to disclose declared-essential patents because Apple has engaged in similar but more egregious misconduct. Under Apple's theories asserted against Nokia in this case, Apple has improperly delayed or its disclosure or failed to disclose twelve patents that Apple believes are essential to practicing certain telecommunications standards. Apple has deliberately delayed disclosing eleven of its purportedly essential patents until the eve of the iPhone's release, and has yet to disclose a twelfth patent. Apple should be estopped from asserting that Nokia's alleged failure to properly disclose essential patents renders Nokia's conduct anticompetitive. WHEREFORE, Nokia denies that Apple is entitled to any judgment against it in any sum or sums whatsoever, including damages, punitive damages, pre-judgment interest, post- - 41 - judgment interest, costs, attorneys' fees, injunctive or equitable relief, or any of the various other relief requested. COUNTERCLAIMS Nokia's Counterclaim for Declaratory Judgment that Apple has Repudiated and/or Rejected the Benefits of Nokia's F/RAND commitment, pled in Paragraphs 57-64 of Nokia's Answer to Apple's First Amended Counterclaims (D.I. 66), has been re-pled as Count XI of Nokia's First Amended Complaint (D.I. 190) at Paragraphs 164-171. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Nokia prays for judgment and seeks relief against Apple from the Court: (a) (b) infringed; (c) and such further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
