Nokia files complaint with US trade commission against Qualcomm
HELSINKI, Finland: Nokia Corp., the world’s largest mobile phone maker, said Friday that it has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission alleging that chipset maker Qualcomm has engaged in unfair trade practices by infringing on its patents.
The Finnish company has asked the ITC to start an investigation and issue an order to bar imports to the United States of chipsets and products that allegedly infringe on its patents, Nokia said.
“Qualcomm’s unfair trade practices include importing products, selling products for importation, and/or selling products after importation, and inducing others to import products such as handsets that infringe Nokia patented technology in certain Qualcomm GSM/WCDMA and CDMA2000 chipsets,” Nokia said.
Nokia shares closed up more than 3 percent at €21.72 (US$29.22) on the Helsinki Stock Exchange.
