The spokesperson said Nokia has more than 40 licence agreements, mainly for its standards essential patent portfolio, with most mobile manufacturers. "Neither Google nor Asus is licensed under our patent portfolio,” he said.
According to The Inquirer, Nokia is unlikely to seek an injunction against Google or Asus for the Nexus 7 and is more likely to ask for Google to approach it to obtain the appropriate licences. This was echoed by the Nokia spokesperson, who said companies wanting to licence the standard essential patents should approach the company and sign up to licence the technology.
