Nokia Apple patent war no going to Finland with same recipiet

Patent war escalates to Europe..

Some time in end of September:
"Apple has sued Nokia in the UK over nine patents, in a continuation of the legal battle that has raged between the two companies in the US over the last year."

First to UK but we are still not in home land of Nokia, Finland. When looking on patents asserted against Nokia by Apple in December

US5,634,074 / Not filed in Finland
US6,343,363 / EP patent also but not validated in Finland
US5,555,369 / Only in US
US6,239,795 / EP patent also but not validated in Finland
US6,189,034 / Only in US
US5,455,854 / EP patent also but not validated in Finland
US7,383,453 / Only in US
US5,848,105 / Only in US
US5,379,431 / EP patent also but not validated in Finland...

Well at least these do not help. Tells lot about need for good patent strategy.
