Imagine you put years of R&D (personell=wages, equipment=cash, time=money) into developing a service and then paying serious money to patent it.

Then suddenly other companies use your service for free (aka STEAL it). Then you ask nicely for them not to steal and pay patent fee but they don't. Thats when Nokia sue with all right as thievery is not acceptable be it in business or privately.

Education might be in order before asking questions like that ;-)

          Zendroid, 01 Nov 2023Hmd isn't Nokia! Get some knowledge! The legal action against Amazon and HP was taken by NOKIA, not by HMD. You should get some knowledge yourself.

            Minu, 02 Nov 2023If they can acquire HMD as a fully owned subsidiary, it... moreNokia just needs to cut its phone division's management size by 90%. And HMD isn't really helping much. It also need a lot of new blood. The old block is too stubborn and inflexible.

              Most of the peoples comments doesn't make any sense or have any idea what Nokia is nowadays. HDM = is not Nokia.

              "Nokia going broke, away."
              Its not going away or broke. Basically they don't make phones anymore, HDM is just using Nokia brand. HDM paid Nokia to use brand.

              Nokia is not going anywhere. They are up and running good. They are doing telecommunication stuff. Basically like Huawei, Sony Ericson. Cellular, 5G, etc. They are major factor in this business.

              Also the fact that they have put lots of effort in R&D over the decades. And other are using their R&D for free? Ofc Nokia can ask and sue if they are not paying their license fees.

                Carol, 01 Nov 2023If you say so, in reality, they are doing it quite well. I ... moreUnfortunately everyone is doing it.. 🤷‍♂️
                For example Intel was hurting Amd for 30 years.. Even Apple was jealous Sony so much and they copied sony indirectly..
                Everyone somehow copy someone.. I believe Nokia took inspiration from someone in past but tech in early times weren't regulated

                  Anonymous, 01 Nov 2023This is the only way Nokia can make money now.Exactly..
                  U know what is the future of tech companies? They will be all loosing and last thing will be fighting each other and ended up destroying themselves..
                  Like I said in other article.. Monies are like stars ✨ and companies are like black holes
                  🕳 Stars (monies) vone ran out of fuel and black holes will be eating each other and merging.. Guess who will be last? 🙂
                  It's slow process same like in universe but unavoidable 🙂

                    Why Nokia suing everyone? 🤷‍♂️ They have no sales so they decided to target everyone who breaching their sht.. But when they somewhat had sales they didn't bother to sue or inspect or check if someone using their sht without whatever they have with others.. Bit pathetic or desperate better word..

                      you have to suffer, 02 Nov 2023how about youtube as well. would nokia sue google for using... moremaybe they don't need to sue google because they pay their license fees as agreed upon 🤯

                          how about youtube as well. would nokia sue google for using "video compression, content delivery, and content recommendation"?? who knows 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️❓❓

                            Pop off Nokia. Not like those two companies have anything to lose.

                                    And they'll become profitable again.

                                    Hopefully Nokia uses some of that money to actually make phones.

                                      Anonymous, 02 Nov 2023🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nokia is searching for income. And you're searching for the meaning of your life with emojis. Lol

                                        Kriegsherr, 01 Nov 2023so all the hard work NOKIA put into shouldn't matter? ... moreExactly!
                                        If Nokia still wants to make money, the easiest thing they could've done is kick-starting and funding their licensees, instead, most of them were treated like forgotten princesses.
                                        Or else, they should ask for a significant share as intellectual properties for their monophonic ringtones, since their ringtones are being played in Tamil movies and Instagram reels as sound effects, since it shouldn't be considered "free real estate", all thanks to the fact that each of them took at least 2 hours on average for the composers to compose those monophonic ringtones.
                                        That seemingly "stupid" action would've made perfect sense, compared to being a parent troll while losing the trust of us users of their products, and being the centre of being ridiculed consistently.
