Apple will pay a certain patent fee to Nokia within the agreement period, and will pay in cash in advance from the second quarter of 20 17. As for the details and specific amount of re-cooperation, neither party has disclosed it at present.
In addition, Apple will supplement the sales of Nokia wearable device brand Withings in Apple Mall. A few days after the patent dispute broke out, this product was removed from the Apple store.
At present, both Nokia and Apple have withdrawn their complaints from the US International Trade Commission (ITC). As early as 2009, Nokia sued Apple in the US court, claiming that the iPhone used patented technology belonging to Nokia, but did not pay the license fee to Nokia. Subsequently, Apple retaliated, claiming that Nokia's mobile phone products infringed on Apple's nine patented technologies, and requested ITC to issue an injunction prohibiting Nokia-related mobile phones suspected of infringement from being sold in the US market.
Shortly after the settlement was reached, the CEO of Nokia said: "We are very happy that Apple has become a new member of Nokia's patent licensee. The conclusion of this settlement agreement not only shows Nokia's leading position in the field of mobile phone patent technology, but also enables us to issue patent licenses to more other manufacturers. "
