Nokia Corporation (Nokia Oyj) is a Finnish multinational telecommunications, information technology, and consumer electronics corporation headquartered in Espoo, Finland. Founded in 1865, Nokia is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: NOK). As of early 2026, Nokia employs approximately 78,000-86,700 people globally and reported a trailing 12-month revenue of approximately $23.2 billion as of March 2026. Its market capitalization stood at around $76.5 billion to $78.1 billion in May 2026.
Nokia's core operations have largely transitioned from mobile handset manufacturing to a focus on large-scale telecommunications infrastructure, technology development, and licensing. The company's major business segments include Network Infrastructure, which builds critical networks for communication service providers and enterprises; Mobile Networks, providing products and services for all mobile technology generations; and Cloud and Network Services, focusing on 5G core, private wireless, and cloudification of communication platforms. Nokia Technologies manages and monetizes the company's extensive patent portfolio and licenses the Nokia brand for products such as phones (through HMD Global), TVs, streaming devices, and other consumer electronics.
Based on available patent litigation data, Nokia Corp. primarily operates as a defendant in patent disputes. The company has no recorded plaintiff cases and one recorded defendant case within the tracked database. This posture suggests that Nokia is typically an operating company defending against assertions rather than an entity primarily asserting its own patent portfolio in court.
The single tracked case, Element Television Co., LLC v. Nokia Corp., was filed on November 24, 2024, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, where Nokia is named as the defendant.
