Amassing a large portfolio of patents is a common protection method for large companies. Patent anything plausible and add them to your quiver in case somebody sues you. The intent isn't competitive advantage by exploiting those discoveries in your own products, but rather as a path to mutually

Simon, It does not matter whether Nokia is responsible for most of the technology or not. Many manufacturers are using GSM and I am sure legally. Not being a patent lawyer, there are either royalties paid or fair use rights involved. I would submit that stealing is a rather strong term because

So, if Nokia is not feeling threaten, then why bother? There is a motivating reason because litigation in any form will cost money and if both sides really dig in their heels, it could end up costing both sides a considerable chunk of change. It all goes back to return on investment (ROI). There

That is true and this has been a pissing contest between Nokia and APple for some time now. It probably will end up coming down to who has the largest bladder. Nokia probably should just sue everyone in this case since it's all about the use of GSM. On May 8, 2010, at 7:14 PM, Ben Mustill-Rose w
