It is the latest move in a series of legal proceedings that started in October when Nokia sued Apple.

The Finnish firm alleged that Apple's iPhone infringed侵犯,破坏 10 of its patents.

Apple countered by filing its own lawsuit against Nokia, saying the phone maker had copied certain aspects of the iPhone and infringed 13 of its patents.

Apple told the BBC that it would not comment on its latest legal move.
