Apple filed its 10-K form [PDF link] with the SEC yesterday and addressed the suit when disclosing its ongoing legal proceedings. If you thought Apple was going to roll over and give-in, think again. Apple said it "intends to defend the case vigorously."
From the 10-K (page 29):

unspecified FRAND compensation and other relief. The Company's response to the complaint is not yet due. The
Company intends to defend the case vigorously.
