Nokia said it has signed a patent licensing agreement with Daimler, setting aside past disputes. The companies have been battling out their dispute over car communication patent licensing for years. Recently, the Duesseldorf Regional Court suspended proceedings against Daimler over royalties for Nokia’s technology used in navigation systems, vehicle communications and self-driving cars. The court referred to the European Court of Justice to clarify the law as it applies to supply chains.
With the latest agreement, the parties have decided to settle all pending litigations, including the complaint by Daimler against Nokia to the European Commission. Nokia now licenses mobile telecommunications technology to Daimler and receives payment in return. The companies did not disclose the terms of the agreement.
