Nokia Accuses Amazon of Infringing Video Patent, Amazon Disputes Fee

TapTechNews September 22nd news, according to Reuters, Nokia said on September 20th that the German court has ruled that Amazon has used Nokia's video patent technology without authorization.

Nokia's chief licensing officer, Arvin Patel, said in a statement that the Munich regional court ruled that Amazon illegally used Nokia's patented video technology in its end-user streaming media devices and must stop selling its Fire TV stick in Germany.

Amazon expressed disagreement with this judgment, believing that the fee required by Nokia is too high, and the company plans to further negotiate with Nokia to solve the problem. The fee required by Nokia exceeds the total patent fees we have paid to other companies, and Nokia has rejected our proposed fair and market-price offer.

TapTechNews learned that as early as last year, Nokia filed lawsuits against Amazon in Germany, India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Unified Patent Court of Europe, accusing Amazon of using Nokia's multimedia patent technology without authorization.
