Nokia Sues Amazon in Multiple Countries for Allegedly Using its Patented Streaming Technologies Without Permission

Nokia is suing Amazon in multiple countries for allegedly using Nokia's patented technologies in streaming services without permission. This includes video compression and content delivery tech.

Nokia has invested over €140 billion in R&D over the past decades and holds many patents critical to streaming and connectivity.

Nokia says it tried negotiating licenses with Amazon for years but is now suing as a last resort since Amazon used the tech anyway.

Nokia is also separately suing HP in the U.S. for allegedly infringing on its video tech patents.

The lawsuits come as Nokia struggles financially and is cutting costs, including thousands of jobs, amid economic uncertainty.
