Apple is since last week in the clinch with Nokia Technologies, the patentbeheerder of the former telefoonbouwer. The two tech locks in 2011 after a previous legal battle, an agreement in which agreements were made about the use by Apple of Nokia patents. Last week pitched Nokia however a case of 32 patents over which the two never even would have become. Apple, for its part, accuses Nokia in a other litigation of certain patents from the previous agreement to have with the intention to ‘excessive royalties to requirements’. The company says in a statement to news website TechCrunch that Nokia the tactics of a patent troll’ is used. That are companies who make their living suing others for alleged patentbreuk.
It seems that the first victim of the battle now the gezondheidsgadgets of Withings. The French accessoiremaker, who earlier this year was acquired by Nokia, including weight scales, blood pressure monitors and baby monitors that communicate with smartphones and fitnesstrackers. These products are now no longer to be found in Apple’s online store and would also from the physical shops have disappeared.
