    Genuine question: does Nokia have a bad history with patent trolling?

    To me Nokia is just that old cell phone company that never quite made it even though they were iconic.

      They’ve been bought and sold to the point that all that’s left is their patent portfolio. Their current business strategy appears to be “patent troll”. They’ve been holding industry telecommunications methods hostage instead of negotiating fair use fees.

      Google “nokia lawsuit fair use”.
