Microsoft Also Secures Other Valuable Patent Benefits
▪ Nokia is assigning to Microsoft benefits under more than
60 patent licenses with third parties
• Nokia is assigning its existing license with Qualcomm, which is the other company that
ranks with Nokia at the top in having a valuable wireless patent portfolio
• Nokia is also conveying rights under its agreements with IBM, Motorola Mobility, and Motorola Solutions
. These give Microsoft the benefit of attractive royalty arrangements Nokia negotiated
▪ Microsoft will combine the new Nokia license and
these assignments with its existing patent agreements
• Microsoft's agreement with Samsung will provide coverage
for these additional devices without added payments
Microsoft will also benefit from its prior or continuing agreements with
Apple, LG, Nortel, Kodak, and others at no additional cost
■ Put all together, Microsoft will have the most cost-effective
patent arrangements for smart devices
