Well, the nearly two year long legal tug-of-war has finally ended – with Nokia coming out the victor. Apple will pay an undisclosed lump sum, plus ongoing royalties as part of the licensing agreement for the Nokia patents they\u2019re utilizing in the iPhone.<\/p>\n

However, this may not be as big a blow to Apple as it initially appears.
