Nokia has a lot of patents related to the GSM standard, which it was obligated to license to anyone practicing that standard. There was never any question that Apple was infringing on Nokia IP. Seems to me that the only issue was how much Apple's IP merited in cross-license. My guess is that it became less valuable once Nokia committed to Microsoft, who already has a broad license to use Apple IP in their software. That decision probably took a lot of leverage away from Apple's negotiation team.

Samsung had better hope Nokia's suit against them doesn't do as well.

For Apple, this is a drop in the proverbial bucket.
