Nokia’s lawsuit against Oppo in France ruled in favour of Oppo, similar case in Germany which was won by Nokia might be relooked

Nokia recently filed a patent lawsuit against Oppo in regards to the latter using the former’s Wi-Fi patents. Nokia did so because Oppo refrained from any compensation to Nokia while using Nokia’s intellectual properties. However, in recent developments, the French court ruled the case in favour of Oppo.

France doesn’t consider the type of patents in discussion innovative enough to be warranted with compensation. Thus, instead of Nokia receiving the compensation negotiation that they sought from Oppo, they had to face a ruling of the court addressed in favour of Oppo.

According to reports, one particular French even ordered Nokia to reimburse a legal fee of $442,640 after rejecting one of their patents.

Nokia also filed a similar lawsuit against Oppo in Germany, prior to the present events. The difference is that, in Germany, the case was won by Nokia.

As a result of the rulings by a German court, Oppo had to discontinue sales in Germany. Subsequently, Oppo faced complications in carrying forward their operations in Europe, and their operations in Germany ceased to exist.

With the surfacing of the latest developments in the French court, it is also possible that the German case might be relooked by the concerned authority.

Meanwhile bought the companies are on the lookout for favourable negotiating terms with each other.
