Apple & RIM will most likely settle out of court for a very large sum of money that will come out of their petty cash funds and life will go on as normal; if Kodak has a legitimate claim.

Want is much more substantial is the fight between Nokia and Apple:

Apple is currently in the middle of a legal dispute with phone giant Nokia.
In October, Nokia alleged that the iPhone infringed 10 of its "fundamental" patents relating to wireless technologies.
Apple countered with its own lawsuit in December, accusing Nokia of copying its technology.
Since then Nokia has complained to the ITC and launched a further legal action that alleges "virtually all" of Apple's products infringe on its patents.
