It is understood that in 20 16 12, Nokia initiated a number of lawsuits, accusing Apple of infringing its 32 patents. Due to the escalation of patent disputes, Apple withdrew a series of digital health products from the online and offline stores of Nokia brand Withings. The dispute was finally resolved on Tuesday, when Apple finally promised to pay Nokia a one-time payment, plus a patent fee for each mobile phone that uses Nokia technology. It is said that this transaction is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and analysts estimate that the total payment amount of this transaction will be 3.9-4.75 billion pounds (about 345.7-4.265438 billion yuan).
According to the new agreement, Nokia will provide network infrastructure products for Apple, and Apple will continue to sell Nokia's re-launched digital health products in all stores and online stores. The two will also cooperate in the field of digital health in the later stage.
Although the cooperation agreement has not been further disclosed at present, the reconstruction of the relationship with Apple in the future will definitely bring profits and income to Nokia's mobile phone business. In addition, Nokia provides telecom-related services and patented technologies for Apple, which also indicates that these will become the key technologies for the latter to release wearable products in the future.
