The Finnish firm Nokia, has lived, and continues to see to a great extent, the patents that it has in its name, because in the boom of mobile phones it became a reference throughout the world. At the end of last year, he sued Apple for making use of patents without going through the box, a lawsuit that was withdrawn after reaching a collaboration agreement, in addition to paying just over 2.000 million dollars.
But the agreement between Nokia with Apple is not the only one that the company has reached throughout this year, since Xiaomi, a few months ago, reached an agreement to share in both directions, the patents that both have registered to their name, so Nokia benefits from itXiaomi's experience for your health devices after acquiring Withings last year, and Xiaomi benefits for the next smartphones it launches.
But it seems that in the world of telephony, everyone loves Nokia, since the latest collaboration agreement that the company has signed shows us how Huawei, the third manufacturer that sells the most smartphones worldwide, has also reached an agreement with the Finnish company, to share patents. As is usual, like Xiaomi, the terms of the agreement are confidential, so we do not know if there are money movements somewhere, or they have simply made a temporary partner-ship.
Huawei has grown exponentially in recent years, soutperforming most phone manufacturers in number of sales, but it is still at a distance, from Apple and especially from Samsung, the undisputed king of telephony throughout the world. If the company does not deviate from its path, it is more than likely that within not long, it can surpass Apple as the second company that sells the most smartphones in the world.
