Nokia began negotiations for a potential license with Paramount in 2022 but was unable to reach an agreement. The company's lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages. This is not the first time Nokia has taken legal action over video streaming patents; it has also sued Acer, Asus, and Hisense this year. Notably, Nokia has previously settled disputes with Amazon and HP under confidential terms [1].
Spokespeople for Paramount did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the lawsuit. Nokia, however, stated that while it prefers to avoid litigation, Paramount's actions left them with no choice [1].
The case, Nokia Technologies Oy v. Paramount Skydance Corp, is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, with case number 1:25-cv-01054.
