"We are very pleased to have resolved our patent licensing issues with RIM and reached this new agreement, while maintaining Nokia's ability to protect our unique product differentiation," said Paul Melin, chief intellectual property officer at Nokia, Nokia Press added. "This agreement demonstrates Nokia's industry leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."

Theglobeandmail.com also reported that Nokia has earned around €500-million for patent royalty, and some analysts predict that Nokia could earn hundreds of millions more if they have more successful deals.
