Not sure where to find related patents for apple. But for the telecommunication industry, its quite clear who leads the way between the two in patents.
Engadget actually had an intelligent article for once about the whole Nokia vs Apple thing when the fuss originally started.

They referred to a firm called, "Fairfield Resources International" which had researched on patents related to LTE/GSM/WCDMA.

And if Nokia is looking for compensation while offering FRAND(fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) terms for patents that are classified as essential. Which they were, last time I looked. Then I don't see anyone stopping them from getting their dues, whether it gets settled in court or out of court is a completely different issue.
@Laughing Man - Yes, this second case hasn't revealed many details, so its difficult to say what exactly the patents in question are and how different they are from the original complaint. But, considering they went only after the iPad 3G and not the Wifi model makes it seem they are going after similar patents as in the first case.
