Qualcomm has more lawsuits for Nokia
Qualcomm is the company behind the popular CDMA mobile communication standard while Nokia is the world’s largest mobile phone maker.
The two companies are already involved in several lawsuits filed against each other. And now Qualcomm has announced that they have filed more lawsuits against Nokia.
Qualcomm has filed two lawsuits against Nokia Corp. in U.S. District Courts. These new lawsuits claim that Nokia is infringing upon two of their patents.
Incidentally the patent sharing agreement between the two companies would end this April 9. Qualcomm in these new lawsuits is demanding that Nokia stops selling the phones infringing on their patents. They are also asking Nokia to pay damages for phones which have already been sold in the market.
One of these two new lawsuits is related to the two patents owned by Qualcomm covering speech encoders used in certain GSM mobile phones to digitize audio signals for transmission. The other lawsuit is related to the downloading of applications and other digital content over GPRS (general packet radio service) or EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) networks.
