Nokia is announcing today that it has signed a patent and technology collaboration agreement with HTC. The settlement ends months of pending patent litigation between the two firms, and means HTC will make payments to Nokia. Both firms will work together on HTC’s LTE patent portfolio, and future technology collaboration opportunities. Full terms of the agreement are being kept confidential. We are very pleased to have reached a settlement and collaboration agreement with HTC, which is a long-standing licensee for Nokias standards essential patents, says Paul Melin, Nokias chief intellectual property officer. Nokia sued HTC, RIM, and ViewSonic in 2012 for infringing 45 patents around the world.
