Nokia & Kyocera to settle patent dispute
Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has resolved its patent dispute with Japanese ceramics, electronics and optics maker Kyocera.
Under the terms of the agreement, Kyocera is to pay royalties to Nokia for all CDMA and module products. Reciprocally, Nokia is licensed under all of Kyocera's essential patents, and some additional patents, relating to all standards and covering all Nokia mobile phone, module and infrastructure products. The parties had been involved since February 2004 in a range of patent rows over mobile phone products. This license agreement resolves all pending litigation between the parties without contingencies of any kind.
