Business as usual.
Not quite. I work in patent litigation and while I have not read the complaint yet (I plan to), the press release said that Nokia is suing Apple for infringement. That means in the complaint Nokia has identified certain patents that they claim Apple is infringing upon. If it was a matter of Nokia's patent applications being refused because of Apple's patents that would be an issue to be taken up in the US Patent and Trademark Office, not a federal district court.
