Nokia: Qualcomm GSM patent “invalid”, rules German court (Germany)Nokia says the German Federal Patent Court has ruled that a Qualcomm GSM patent asserted in a case against Nokia as invalid.
This is the third court to conclude that Qualcomm’s patent claims against Nokia are without merit.
Qualcomm had filed 11 lawsuits on three continents against Nokia claiming the Finnish firm has infringed its patents in mobile phones based on the widely used GSM technology.
So far the U.S. International Trade Commission and Britain’s High Court have decided the patents have been either invalid or not infringed.
A hearing on the second Qualcomm patent in the German court case is scheduled for October.
