Hard blow for Nokia in the United States: The ITC launches a investigation in connection with its model Nokia N75, following the deposit of complaint for violation of patents on the 3G by the IntelDigital company.

Decidemment, nothing turns does not turn correctly for Nokia on the American market. Whereas the Finnish giant is the number one of the sales of mobile telephony, North America remains obstinately closed on the Nokia telephones which saw its sales there moving back whereas they increase significantly everywhere in the world.

Stronghold of Motorola, Research in Motion or Palm, the American market is sulky the Nokia telephones, even with its attempts at seduction with the terminaux ones of convérgeants, like N95, unanimously recognized.

And the investigation that vien of launching the ITC (International Trade Comission) against the N75 model is not made to improve the things. The InterDigital company indeed deposited a complaint against Nokia for violation of several patents related to the 3G in the components present in the model of Nokia.

Still and always of the questions of licences

The ITC has 45 days to check its assertions, while manufacturing it of mobiles announces already that it goes vigorously déffendre its product vis-a-vis the complaint of the IntelDigital company deposited last month. These patents would belong to the heart of the technology 3G and the plaintiff in advertisement of the royalties.

Nokia estime of sound with dimensions that the companies should avoid launching out judicial actions in the case of the essential standard patents, with the risk to slow down the processes of industrial standardization and innovations. It is not the first time that Nokia must face the complaints of the IntelDigital company. The Finnish company had to yield to him 253 million dollars in 2006, at the end of ue argument concerning the patents on products 2G.
