So, if Nokia is not feeling threaten, then why bother? There is a motivating 
reason because litigation in any form will cost money and if both sides really 
dig in their heels, it could end up costing both sides a considerable chunk of 
change. It all goes back to return on investment (ROI). There has to be some 
motivation and some outcome that will benefit either side. In Apple's case the 
counter suit is in response to Nokia's suit, which is pretty standard protocol. 
So, what does Nokia expect to gain? Well X dollars for every iPhone sold since 
it was introduced and going forward. This means they need money or they would 
have done this several years ago. This is based on what I have read about this 
over the last many months and it makes about as much sense as half the lawsuits 
filed anymore.
