Default Qualcomm Sues Nokia Over Patents

http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=technologyNews&storyID=2005-11-07T143246Z_01_DIT740309_RTRUKOC_0_US-QUALCOMM-NOKIA.xml

"Wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. has filed a lawsuit against mobile giant Nokia accusing it of infringing a dozen patents related to the most widespread cell phone standard. Qualcomm said on Monday it wanted Nokia, the world's No. 1 mobile phone maker, to stop selling or producing products in the United States designed for GSM mobile phone networks and that it was demanding financial damages from the Finnish mobile firm. ...Qualcomm dominates the market for technology and chips for CDMA, the mobile phone technology it invented. It said Nokia has used some of Qualcomm's CDMA technology to improve GSM networks so that they too could achieve faster speeds for data services such as video calls and Internet downloads."

If this is true, Nokia could be facing the same problems as RIM. It could be a very interesting turn of events for the world's number 1 phone manufacturer.
