Nokia announced that it has signed a patent license agreement with Apple. The agreement will result in settlement of all patent litigation between the companies, including the withdrawal by Nokia and Apple of their respective complaints to the US International Trade Commission
After several months of court battles and several lawsuits filled by the parties it all ended with a settlement, rather than a court order. Unfortunately, given the confidential nature of the agreement we'll probably never learn the actual numbers. Apple has agreed to make pay an undisclosed amount upfront as well as on-going royalties to the Finnish company
Here is the relevant part of the official Nokia press release:
The financial structure of the agreement consists of a one-time payment payable by Apple and on-going royalties to be paid by Apple to Nokia for the term of the agreement. The specific terms of the contract are confidential.
"We are very pleased to have Apple join the growing number of Nokia licensees," said Stephen Elop, president and chief executive officer of Nokia. "This settlement demonstrates Nokia's industry leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."
