Есть мнение, что Nokia и RIM хотят выжать деньги из своих патентов. А Apple пытается сделать так, чтобы у них это не вышло. Звучит правдоподобно, учитывая финансовое положение фигурантов :-) http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/nokia-blasts-apples-nano-sim-proposal-attempt-devalue-rivals-intellectual-p/2012-03-27
According to Florian Mueller of the popular Foss Patents blog, Apple has submitted a proposal that would give the other handset makers royalty-free licenses to any Apple patents for its nano-SIM design, as long as Apple's proposal is adopted as a standard and that all other patent holders accept the same terms.
Nokia blasted that proposal, though, arguing Apple cannot possibly back it up. "We are not aware of any Apple intellectual property which it considers essential to its nano-SIM proposal," a Nokia spokesperson told IDG News Service. "In light of this, Apple's proposal for royalty-free licensing seems no more than an attempt to devalue the intellectual property of others."
