Nokia Sues Qualcomm Over Patents
03/20/07

Nokia filed complaints on Monday against Qualcomm in Germany and the Netherlands asking that its wireless technology rival’s European patents be declared “exhausted” for products on that market. Nokia has been buying Texas Instruments chipsets for its mobile phones and claims it is protected from patent infringement suits from Qualcomm because of an existing cross-licensing agreement between Qualcomm and TI. The suit is the latest skirmish in an ongoing battle between the two mobile technology companies over patents. Qualcomm has a large set of patents covering CDMA (code division multiple access) technology and has been trying to extend them to the kinds of high-speed technologies such as WCDMA (wideband CDMA) to which the mobile industry has been moving. If Nokia’s claim succeeds, the company said, Qualcomm would be prevented from enforcing its patents with respect to Nokia’s phones that contain the TI chipsets.
