Nokia has not sold a patent and only authorized Microsoft to use

    SEPTEMBER 4 News, Reuters reported, In a 5.44 billion-euro takeover deal between Microsoft and Nokia, with 3.79 billion euros to buy Nokia's equipment and services, and 1.65 billion euros to gain a 10-year mandate for Nokia-related technology patents, why didn't Nokia sell its patents to Microsoft and authorize them to use them? The reasons for       may not be complicated, and Nokia will be able to gain a handsome profit in the future by authorizing the Android handset maker.      "Actually this will involve the right issue of using Nokia's inventions," said Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, in Tuesday, "but it does not involve patent transfer or ownership of the patent itself." Brad "     So far, Nokia has not granted much of its patents to outside firms, preferring to use them to protect its mobile phone business from lawsuits from rivals," said Noah's spokesman Mark Durante Mark "Once the deal with Microsoft is done, we will no longer have our own mobile device business, and we will explore the possibility of licensing some of the technology patents to outside vendors," Durant said, Durrant.      Nokia, which has dominated the global handset industry for years but has been losing out in the relatively fierce smartphone market in recent years, has been held back by aggressive Apple and Samsung, and is now focused on mobile network devices, after selling handsets to Microsoft Navigation and technology patents, such as the three major advantages of business areas.      For a long time, Nokia has been in the intellectual property market, the company sued Apple in 2009 and subsequently reached a licensing agreement, although the specific provisions are not disclosed, but it is believed that Nokia will receive hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars in licensing fees.      for Microsoft, the current access to Nokia's patent license is sufficient, and there is no need to buy these patents outright. In addition, Microsoft has persuaded about 20 Android manufacturers to pay royalties in order to increase the cost of using the Android system. Today, Nokia can also seek patent royalties from the Android companies, although Nokia's spokesmen do not specify specific targets.      "I wouldn't be surprised if Nokia filed a patent lawsuit in the next few months," said a senior IPR executive who has had business dealings with both Microsoft and Nokia, saying that if Microsoft buys Nokia's patents outright, Then the possibility of suing the android manufacturerBe ruled out. In addition, Microsoft General Counsel Smith also said that in Microsoft and Nokia's terms of trade, Nokia also allows Microsoft to extend the option of patent authorization after 10 years.      Judging from past trading, Nokia's high quality handset patents are worth a lot of money, such as when Google spent $12.5 billion in 2011 to buy Motorola Mobile, the value of the patents the latter had.      "For Nokia, selling the handset business but retaining a patent portfolio means that the company certainly has other ways of recovering the value of the patents," said Michael Michael Pier-en-Teze, partner of Lumen SV, an intellectual property consultancy. Pierantozzi said he also believes that if Nokia is willing to sell its patent portfolio, then it will want to get close to Motorola mobile trading prices, but it is clear that Microsoft is not willing to pay exorbitant price, so Nokia did not sell the patent, It may just be that they are not getting the price they expect.
