As a result, Nokia took Daimler to court. Not long ago, the German court ruled that Daimler lost the case and had to pay a fine for it. Of course, this is not the final judgment, because Daimler has the right to appeal. In fact, it also announced that it would continue to appeal.
Continental, the parts giant, is firmly on Daimler's side. They publicly declared that the judgment was unfair and encouraged Nokia's arrogance. For a long time, the mainland had to pay so-called patent fees to Nokia.
Nokia didn't let go because the income from patent fees was not a small sum for it. Every year, its patent license fees from various enterprises are as high as 654.38+0.4 billion euros.
In fact, the feud between the two families does not stop there. At the beginning of last year, Daimler sued Nokia to the EU antitrust agency, claiming that it was suspected of monopolizing a patented technology-5G, which is crucial for automobile communication. Without 5G, the Internet of Vehicles can't land, and if Nokia is not a monopoly, it means that companies such as Daimler have to pay higher patent fees to it.
Moreover, smart cars will be the future trend. If Nokia's practice of charging patent fees persists, then car manufacturers will be limited everywhere and can only solve the problem with high patent fees. They worked hard to make cars, and their profits were earned by Nokia. Naturally, they can't promise.
