Nokia tells Reddit it might be infringing on Nokia's patents.

I can’t believe I have to defend reddit for once.

The VergeNokia tells Reddit it might be infringing on Nokia’s patents.[Link: Nokia Tells Reddit It Infringes Some Patents in Lead-Up to IPO | https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-19/nokia-tells-reddit-it-infringes-some-patents-in-lead-up-to-ipo?embedded-checkout=true | Bloomberg] In an amended SEC filing ahead of its IPO, Reddit warned potential investors that “...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims.” Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business many years ago, and reminded people of it with last year’s logo redesign. Companies paying Nokia licensing fees include HTC, Apple, and more recently, Oppo.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say “it couldn’t have happened to a nicer company”. I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Genuine question: does Nokia have a bad history with patent trolling?

To me Nokia is just that old cell phone company that never quite made it even though they were iconic.
