A patent war involving leading mobile phone and chip makers intensified on Monday, with Qualcomm announcing it was suing Nokia for infringement of a dozen of its patents. The move by the US mobile chip maker appeared to be a response to last month's complaints to the European Commission by Nokia and five other companies that Qualcomm was being anti-competitive in refusing to license its patents to the industry on "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms." Qualcomm said it filed suit on Friday in a federal court in San Diego alleging infringement of 11 of its patents and one owned by its subsidiary SnapTrack.
