In an amended SEC filing ahead of its IPO, Reddit warned potential investors that "...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims." Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business many years ago, and reminded people of it with last year’s logo redesign. Companies paying Nokia licensing fees include HTC, Apple, and more recently, Oppo.
These comments are kind of silly. There are 0 details about the patient claim, but a bunch of people are picking sides based on how they feel about a brand name. Classic Lemmy.

Classic.
That ‘article’ is garbage. The headline is more imformative than the actual article.
Who puts "ahem, in an informational article?
Also how is “patent licensing” a part their new buisness. They submit patents for whatever they’re doing just like everyone else.
Difference is most companies just want to hold onto the patent to prevent competition
