According to foreign media reports, the judge in Mannheim, Germany, ruled that Nokia won the case when the court ruled on Nokia's mobile technology lawsuit. The court in Mannheim, Germany, announced that they had to support Nokia because Daimler was unwilling to abide by the existing standard patent rules. The court claimed that Daimler and other interested parties did not seriously prepare or prepare to reach a license agreement with Nokia under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions. In the first patent case in February this year, the court ruled that Nokia lost the case. There are still eight patent pending lawsuits between Nokia and Daimler, and the third case will be heard on September 5.
Nokia is not a leading manufacturer of mobile technology, but it is a pioneer manufacturer of mobile communication with many patents. Nokia gains profits through mobile technology patent authorization every year, which exceeds 654.38+0 billion euros, or about 654.38+0.4 billion euros. Nowadays, digital networking technology is the most important sales highlight of automobiles, and Mercedes-Benz happens to be the most frequently used key automobile enterprise. These mobile technologies will also appear in the new generation S-class cockpit. The origin of the dispute lies in Nokia's patent license fee model, which charges each car one by one, rather than the general fee. Therefore, Daimler may have to pay a high fee to Nokia for this.
Daimler, who lost the case, said in an e-mail statement today that it could not understand the judgment of Mannheim court and would appeal. In fact, this ruling involves the core issue of how to obtain patent license for mobile communication system technology, which is the standard equipment and function of most modern cars. The dispute also highlights the broader competition between technology companies and the automobile industry around the technology use fees for navigation systems, automobile communications and self-driving cars. Through this court ruling, Nokia can prevent Daimler from selling Mercedes-Benz cars in Germany. ?
The new generation S-class has a dazzling scientific cockpit and interface, and the cockpit can be equipped with up to five digital displays. Compared with the existing S-class interface, this interface omits 27 physical buttons and knobs, the instrument is a vertical screen of 12.8 inches, and the central control screen slides towards the central armrest like a waterfall. In addition, it can install up to three screens in the back seat, so that the back seat can master the main controls. In addition, the S-class is also equipped with an improved Hey Mercedes-Benz voice assistant, which supports 27 languages, because the current voice assistant of Mercedes-Benz is actually very dull. Of course, it combines the latest network technology and multimedia system, which involves the dispute between Daimler and Nokia.
