Nokia to Qualcomm: stop infringing on our MediaFLO!
In the latest edition of the love-hate Nokia-Qualcomm legal nastiness that's taking up way too much time these days, those mobile phone giants in Finland have asked a Texas court to make Qualcomm stop infringing on six of its MediaFLO implementations. Nokia has some gall to countersue Qualcomm over some specific tailoring of the MediaFLO and BREW standards seing as both are Qualcomm technologies. Those Finns are accusing Qualcomm here of "effectively copying Nokia's innovations." And, Nokia says that its patents are at the core of MediaFLO (broadcast quality) and BREW (application download enabling). Why don't these two just get in the ring and rumble? Enough with silly suits/countersuits already.
Qualcomm files five new patent suits against Nokia
We're just about to give both Nokia and Qualcomm some fightin' gloves if the two can't find some happy middle ground between their constant sparring in the press and on the telecom stage. In the latest round, Qualcomm has filed two new lawsuits against Nokia for -- you guessed it -- alleged infringement of five patents. Of concern to Qualcomm this month week is the company's apparent ownership of anything related to the abbreviation CDMA, as it sees Nokia using its technology used in some of its phones for the downloading of applications over wireless networks and related infringing against speech encoders used in certain Nokia handsets. Qualcomm, 0. Nokia, 0. For today, at least.
