Nokia and Amazon have resolved a significant international patent dispute involving video streaming technologies.
Legal action resolved: Nokia says it has signed a patent agreement with Amazon, covering the use of Nokia’s video technologies in Amazon’s streaming services and devices. The agreement—details of which have not been disclosed—ends litigation between the two companies across multiple jurisdictions including the United States, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, and the European Unified Patent Court.
IP infringement alleged: The legal conflict began in October 2023 when Nokia filed lawsuits against Amazon, alleging unauthorized use of its video-related technologies in services such as Prime Video and devices like the Fire TV Stick. Nokia’s claims encompassed a range of multimedia patents related to video compression, content delivery, content recommendation, and certain hardware aspects.
