Nokia also filed a case on HP
Earlier, Nokia also filed a case on Tech Company HP (Hulet-Pacard) in the US court. This case was also related to permission without video technology. However, Nokia had reached an agreement with HP in October 2024.

On the agreement with Amazon, Nokia said that the agreement shows the strength of their innovation and patent portfolio. However, both companies have not shared financial or technical details of the agreement. There is no response from Amazon.
