Nokia signs patent license agreement with Chinese manufacturer OPPO

There is no doubt that Nokia is one of the giants in the field of technology patents and this led him to sign several agreements with direct competitors to finally become both partners. Without going further, in terms of royalties for 5G, the company expects to enter three euros for each smartphone sold worldwide with this technology.

A little less than a year ago, Nokia announced a patent agreement with Huawei, an agreement that followed the one signed a few months earlier with Xiaomi and those who already maintained with other important brands such as LG, Samsung or even Apple. It's now OPPO's turn.

In addition to the benefits of terminal sales, a large part of mobile phone manufacturers' revenues come from their research and development laboratories, especially through the various exploitation agreements of the different innovations.

And an expert company in this field is Nokia, which has just announced a patent license agreement for several years with the Chinese manufacturer of smartphones OPPO. The company has not disclosed more details because "the terms of the agreement remain confidential between the parties", but according to GSMArena, it seems that OPPO will depend on Nokia for connectivity patents.

In a brief statement, Maria Varsellona, ​​Nokia CLO and President of Nokia Technologies, simply states: "Oppo is one of the leaders in the smart phone industry and we are pleased to welcome you as a Nokia licensee." , as we have said, still extends the Nokia Global License Program, which currently includes agreements with all major brands in the mobile sector, making it the largest licensee in this segment for the next five years.
