Skill to understand is like super rare in modern day

While Apple have had patent problems in the past when they also started to abuse the patents to go to war with Samsung about rounded corners and home button under the screen. I remember something like they made phones with tech they didnt have license for patents at first and then later paid for it but had the tech already in there devices or something like that. And that was the time before the patent wars

        [deleted post]Nokia has sued apple before for the same thing. Apple sued back. Nokia won and starts suing every phone maker on where Nokia can reach. It's not that BBK didn't pay Nokia but more of Nokia raising prices just like how ISP raise prices on your monthly billing without your consent.

          If BBK don't want to get banned from Europe, do the same thing LIKE THIS ARTICLE. Signing patent extend will fix the problem for BBK that should good deal than ignoring.

            So BBK can copy everything Apple but not this?

              [deleted post]I have not seen and nobody has seen that they have been accused of stealing patents to such a degree that they had to come out of a whole containment as happened to a certain Chinese brand recently

                Anonymous, 01 Jul 2023i second that go BBK ! BBK would but China said no, too pricey, prefer to copy 😂

                  Anonymous, 01 Jul 2023Give more rights and patents to apple? No thanksThat is absolutely not, what that would be about. BBK should just pay Nokia already.

                    rosesarerosie, 01 Jul 2023Oh, so it's just HMD 'milking' the Nokia name ?Well, I guess you could say that, it's a licensing agreement between the two Finnish companies.

                      Without this, their sales would be nowhere what they have been.

                              Where are the designers who created those legendary Nokia phone designs. Smartphone design of getting stale. Those designers need to be assembled in Samsung.
