And, it looks as if that patience is finally going to pay off, as I can finally start

Filed under: CellphonesLast we heard from the seemingly endless Nokia / Qualcomm kvetch-fest, the former company was soliciting the ITC's help in barring US Qualcomm chip imports, but for those wishing on their lucky stars that this spat would simply vanish into the night, we've got marginally good news. Apparently, a trio of judges in a Dutch court ruled that it didn't have jurisdiction to rule on the phone maker's claims outside of The Netherlands, thus, the patent-licensing case against Qualcomm was dismissed. Aside from claiming that its "jurisdiction was limited," the court also stated that Nokia's gripe was "too broad to give a reasoned decision." Of note, a German court also dismissed the case just last month on "similar grounds," but if you were counting on Nokia to just take the news in stride, we doubt you'll be pleased to hear that it's already "considering if it will appeal the decision."

Nokia pide a la Comisión de Comercio Internacional que no permita la importación de ciertos chipsets deQualcomm ya que infringen cinco patentes de Nokia. Las patentes en cuestión tienen que ver con tecnologías que mejoran el rendimiento de móviles. Nokia, que domina el mercado mundial de móviles, dice que Qualcomm usa las patentes de Nokia en varios chipsets de GSM/WCDMA y CDMA2000.
La batalla legal entre las dos empresas continua después de que su contrato de licencias se terminó el 9 de Abril. La disputa tiene como punto central el uso de Nokia de las patentes de Qualcomm sobre la tecnología 3G. Nokia probablemente ha pagado Qualcomm 500 millones de dólares a Qualcomm cada año, y probablemente quiere reducir dicho coste.

Qualcomm no sale de una y se mete en otra. Nokia sigue las tácticas de Broadcom y pide a la ITC que prohíba la importación de productos de Qualcomm con tecnología de la finlandesa.La jugada se parece a la que empleara el fabricante de chips Broadcom. Según Nokia, Qualcomm está infringiendo cinco de sus patentes con sus chipsets CDMA y WCDMA/GSM. Por eso quiere que la Comisión de Comercio Internacional (ITC) de Estados Unidos prohíba a esta compañía importar sus productos a América.Pero ITC no va a tenerlo fácil, después de haber hecho lo mismo a instancias de Broadcomm. No hay que olvidar que Qualcomm ha apelado la sentencia.Las patentes de Nokia que están supuestamente siendo infringidas protegen tecnologías que aumentan la vida de las baterías y reducen los costes de producción al reducir el tamaño de los productos.Nokia admite estar copiando a Broadcom en sus tácticas, no sólo denunciando a Qualcomm ante la ITC sino yendo a los juzgados de todos los países en lo
