That would be interesting tactic, but I don't think that Apple will use it.

Apple's defense in their countersue papers is that Nokia has FRAND obligation concerning GSM technologies, and Apple as one of implimentors and adopters of GSM technology is entitled to receiving licenses on FRAND basis (I.e they are saying that they desing and manufacture iPhones).
