HELSINKI | Mon Aug 27, 2012 3:18am EDT

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Shares in Nokia (NOK1V.HE), the No 2 cellphone maker, rose more than 6 percent early on Monday after its bigger rival Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) lost a court case against Apple (AAPL.O).

A U.S. jury found the Korean company had copied critical features of the hugely popular iPhone and iPad and awarded the U.S. company $1.05 billion in damages.

"In addition to Apple, we name Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Nokia as the main beneficiaries from this outcome," Nordea analyst Sami Sarkamies said in a research note.

Nokia and its software partner Microsoft (MSFT.O) have been struggling to win ground from Samsung's Android-powered smartphones which lead the market. (Reporting by Tarmo Virki; Editing by David Holmes)
