Nokia opened up a new front in the patents wars on Wednesday, bringing legal actions in the US and Germany alleging that Apple products – including numerous versions of its iPhone and iPad – infringe on a number of its patents.诺基亚(Nokia)周三修筑了专利战争的新战场，在美国和德国驳回法律诉讼，指控苹果(Apple)产品——还包括众多版本的iPhone和iPad——侵害多项诺基亚专利。The actions collectively encompass 32 patents, according to Nokia. According to US court documents, the patents at issue relate to video coding, increasing battery life and remotely locating phones, among other applications.据诺基亚称之为，这些诉讼总共涵括32项专利。据美国法院文件，涉嫌专利牵涉到视频编码、缩短电池寿命，以及远程定位手机等应用于。Nokia said in one of the lawsuits, filed in a federal court in Texas known for its patent litigation, that use of its “patented innovations enable Apple to sell smaller, more efficient, more capable and more appealing products.”诺基亚在其中一起诉讼——在美国德克萨斯州一个以审理专利诉讼著称的联邦法院驳回——中回应，用于其“有专利维护的创意让苹果以求销售更加小巧、更加高效、更加强劲和更加有吸引力的产品”。

It’s not the first time the two companies have faced off in court over intellectual property disputes, which have run rampant throughout the smartphone business. When Nokia sued Apple in 2009, it touched off counter-suits from the US company and began a wave of patent litigation among the biggest handset makers and computer makers over the booming smartphone market.这不是两家公司首次因知识产权纠纷对簿公堂，专利纠纷在整个智能手机领域十分少见。2009年诺基亚控告苹果时，启动时这家美国企业的反诉讼，并引起几大手机制造商和电脑制造商巨头之间一波专利诉讼浪潮，以争夺战蓬勃的智能手机市场。

Nokia and Apple were also the first to resolve their litigation, reaching a comprehensive deal in 2011. A series of settlements involving other companies since then have brought signalled the limits to the smartphone patent wars, though Apple has remained embroiled in a complex series of actions against Samsung.首度就诉讼达成协议妥协的也是诺基亚和苹果，两家公司在2011年达成协议一项全面交易。自那以来，牵涉到其他公司的一系列妥协说明了智能手机专利战争的局限，尽管苹果仍身陷针对三星(Samsung)的一系列简单诉讼。

According to its statement on Wednesday, Apple agreed to license some patents from Nokia’s portfolio in 2011. But since then, Apple has declined offers made by Nokia to license other patents that are allegedly now being used in Apple products, according to the lawsuit.根据其周三的声明，苹果在2011年表示同意按许可证用于诺基亚专利人组中的一部分专利。但根据诉讼文件，在那之后，苹果拒绝接受了诺基亚关于按许可证用于其他专利的建议，这些专利现在据信被用作苹果产品。Ilkka Rahnasto, head of Nokia’s patent business, said in a statement: “Through our sustained investment in research and development, Nokia has created or contributed to many of the fundamental technologies used in today’s mobile devices, including Apple products. After several years of negotiations trying to reach agreement to cover Apple’s use of these patents, we are now taking action to defend our rights.”诺基亚专利业务负责人伊尔卡.拉赫纳斯托(Ilkka Rahnasto)在一份声明中回应：“通过我们在研发方面的持续投资，当今移动设备（还包括苹果产品）中用于的许多基础技术为诺基亚所建构，或作出贡献。

多年来我们仍然企图通过谈判，就苹果用于这些专利达成协议，现在我们要采取行动保卫我们的权利。”Nokia’s actions come a day after Apple filed a separate lawsuit in California federal court against a number of smaller companies accusing them of conspiring with Nokia to “extract and extort exorbitant revenues” from asserting patents.在诺基亚驳回诉讼的一天前，苹果在加州联邦法院对一些小公司驳回诉讼，指控它们串通诺基亚明确提出专利主张，借此“攫取和勒索高额收益”。
