Nokia, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Nokia Corporation (Nokia Oyj), the Finnish telecom-network vendor founded in 1865. It is a Delaware corporation whose principal place of business has been listed as 6000 Connection Drive, Irving, Texas, and court filings describe it as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Nokia Corporation. The parent is publicly traded (Nasdaq Helsinki: NOKIA; NYSE: NOK), reported FY2024 net sales of €19.22 billion and an average of roughly 78,400 employees, with North America headquarters in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Note that other U.S. entities — Nokia of America Corporation (formerly Alcatel-Lucent USA) and Nokia USA Inc. — are distinct from Nokia, Inc.
Operations. Through its groups — Network Infrastructure, Mobile Networks, Cloud and Network Services, and Nokia Technologies — the group sells IP and optical routers, fixed-broadband access, radio access and mobile core equipment, and related software and services, and licenses a large standards-essential patent portfolio (Nokia reports more than 7,000 patent families essential to 5G). Nokia, Inc. functions as a U.S. operating/sales entity; standalone financials for it are not published.
Litigation posture. The tracked data shows 1 case, 0 as plaintiff and 1 as defendant — a pure defense profile consistent with an operating company being attacked, not an NPE. The single appearance is in plaintiff-friendly territory: the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Notable case. Fenner Investments, Ltd. v. Juniper Networks, Inc. et al. (E.D. Tex., filed Jan. 6, 2005) named Nokia alongside Juniper, UTStarcom, Nortel, Lucent, Cisco, and later Alcatel and Ericsson. Fenner was a Richardson, Texas limited partnership holding patents of inventor Peter R. Fenner and is characterized in business directories as a small patent-licensing operation. It asserted U.S. Patent Nos. 5,561,706 and 6,819,670 (network/telecom access technology); claims against Lucent were settled and dismissed in December 2005. Fenner later lost a related '706 case against Verizon Wireless on appeal (Fed. Cir. 2015).
