“Nokia Technologies will continue to monetize and grow the value of Nokia’s intellectual property and licensing revenue by investing in innovation and its world-leading patent portfolio as well as pursuing other licensing opportunities. It is expected to deliver a slight improvement in comparable* operating profit in 2021, relative to 2020, and stable performance over the longer term.” https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2020/12/16/nokia-provides-a-mid-point-update-on-strategy-and-operating-model/
Ja tuoreessa vuosiraportissa sanotaan:
■ Nokia owns one of the broadest and strongest patent portfolios in the mobile communications sector. At the end of 2020, Nokia’s patent portfolio included around 20 000 patent families (each family being composed of several individual patents), of which the vast majority will still be in force through 2030.
…we have declared more than 3 500 patent families as essential for 5G, and are proud of the number of industry firsts that we have achieved. In January 2020, an independent analytics firm, IPlytics GmbH, ranked Nokia #2 for ownership of granted 5G patents declared in at least one office, and an independent study by the consultancy company PA Consulting concluded that Nokia was #1 for ownership of granted patents that the researchers found essential to the 5G standard.
We continue to refresh our portfolio from R&D activities across all Nokia businesses, filing patent applications on more than 1 500 new inventions in 2020.
Muistutuksena myös Nokian vuonna 2018 julkaistu tavoite 5G-lisensoinnissa, jonka osalta maksu olisi enintään 3 euroa per matkapuhelin 5G-ominaisuuden osalta: “Nokia expects that for mobile phones which implement the 5G New Radio standard, the licensing rate for the Nokia 5G SEP portfolio will be capped at €3 per device.” https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2018/08/21/nokia-licensing-rate-expectations-for-5gnr-mobile-phones/
