Nokia is announcing today that it has signed a patent and "technology
collaboration agreement" with HTC. The settlement ends months of pending
patent litigation between the two firms, and means HTC will make payments to
Nokia. Both firms will work together on HTC’s LTE patent portfolio, and
"future technology collaboration opportunities." Full terms of the agreement
are being kept confidential.
ANOTHER PATENT BATTLE BITES THE DUST
"We are very pleased to have reached a settlement and collaboration agreement
with HTC, which is a long-standing licensee for Nokia's standards essential
patents," says Paul Melin, Nokia's chief intellectual property officer. Nokia
sued HTC, RIM, and ViewSonic in 2012 for infringing 45 patents around the
world. Nokia’s patents covered hardware features like antennas, radios, and
power management, as well as software features like multitasking, navigation,
app stores, retrieving email attachments on mobile, "conversational" message
display, dynamic menus, and certain types of data encryption.
The agreement with HTC puts an end to Nokia’s aggressive licensing tactics,
but as the terms are being kept confidential it’s unclear exactly how much
HTC has to pay. Nokia and Apple settled its patents disputes back in 2011,
and Apple paid a one-time fee of €430M. HTC says it’s "pleased to come to
this agreement, which will enable us to stay focused on innovation for
consumers."
