In the wake of Nokia’s lawsuit against Apple last week, which claimed that Apple’s iPhone infringes on 10 Nokia patents that span WCDMA, GSM and WiFi technologies, analysts are wondering: How much would Apple have to pay if it loses? Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston told Reuters that Apple may have to pay Nokia between $200 million and $1 billion for the patents.
It is entirely unclear how lawsuit, which was filed in Federal District Court in Delaware, will turn out.
However, analysts said that Nokia might have a strong case since it is one of the wireless industry’s key patent holders.
