Nokia

Nokia Corporation, commonly known as Nokia, is a Finnish multinational telecommunications, information technology, and consumer electronics corporation headquartered in Espoo, Finland. Founded in 1865 as a pulp mill, the company took its current corporate form in 1967. Nokia is a publicly traded company, listed on Nasdaq Helsinki (NOKIA) and the New York Stock Exchange (NOK). As of late 2025, Nokia reported approximately 78,005 employees globally and a market capitalization of about $77.90 billion as of May 2026.

Nokia's core business revolves around large-scale telecommunications infrastructure, technology development, and patent licensing. The company's major product lines and services include advanced solutions for IP and optical networks, fixed networks, mobile networks, mission-critical networks, core networks, data center networks, radio access, private networks, network security, and optical networks. Nokia also engages in technology research and development through Nokia Bell Labs and licenses its extensive portfolio of standard-essential patents (SEPs) covering cellular technologies (including 5G) and multimedia. Additionally, the Nokia brand is licensed for various consumer products such as phones, TVs, streaming devices, laptops, and accessories, which are manufactured by partners like HMD Global.

Based on tracked case data, Nokia exhibits an active patent assertion posture, appearing as a plaintiff in one case and as a defendant in zero cases. This aligns with the company's stated strategy of monetizing its industry-leading patent portfolio, particularly its Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). Nokia maintains a significant patent portfolio, comprising over 26,000 patent families, with more than 8,000 declared essential to the 5G standard.

A notable tracked case is Nokia v. HP, Inc. et al., filed in the International Trade Commission (ITC) on December 6, 2023. This litigation involved Nokia asserting multimedia patents related to video compression, content delivery, content recommendation, and hardware against HP Inc. and Amazon. While HP was dismissed from the ITC investigation following a settlement, Amazon remained. Nokia and Amazon subsequently reached a licensing deal in March 2025 to resolve all patent litigation between the two companies across multiple jurisdictions, including the ITC.
