Nokia needs money and needs it sooner than later, hence more courts to help Apple make its mind. Apple could withstand prolonged legal fight, but Nokia which is currently laying off hundreds of its employees probably can't afford that.

Just to give some perspective, Nokia has been profitable every quarter for the past 21 years. Even now, with everyone seemingly agreed that they're doomed, only Apple is more profitable in the phone industry.
All this does is show how f'ed up the patent system is and how counter-productive software patents are to innovation. I wish they would outlaw all software patents everywhere and be done with it.
If you want to protect your code file the whole thing as a copyright like it should be protected. I mean seriously, could anyone imagine what the technology landscape would look like today if these dumb ass laws existed six decades ago? IBM would hold the patent on addition in a solid-state computers. What a load of crap that would be, and this is no different.
Software patents do nothing to push innovation, they only hinder it.
This is about as stupid as someone trying to patent the idea of pulling a cart.
