Nokia is suing Amazon and HP in India and other countries, here’s why

Nokia has revealed that it has started legal proceedings against Amazon. The cases, according to Nokia, have been filed in the US, Germany, India, the UK, and the European Unified Patent Court. The reason? Nokia alleges that Amazon has been involved in “unauthorised use of Nokia’s video-related technologies in its streaming services and devices.”

In a blog post, Arvin Patel, chief licensing officer, new segments at Nokia, said “Amazon Prime Video and Amazon’s streaming devices infringe a mix of Nokia’s multimedia patents covering multiple technologies including video compression, content delivery, content recommendation and aspects related to hardware.”
