HELSINKI, Sept 20 (Reuters) - A German court has ruled

that Amazon ( AMZN ) is using Nokia's patented video

technologies without a license, the Finnish network equipment

maker and telecommunications patent holder said in a statement

on Friday.

"The Munich Regional Court in Germany has ruled that Amazon ( AMZN )

is using Nokia's patented video-related technologies in its

end-user streaming devices and is selling them illegally without

a license," Nokia's Chief Licensing Officer Arvin Patel said.

In July, Amazon ( AMZN )

sued Nokia

in a Delaware federal court, accusing the Finnish group of

infringing a dozen Amazon ( AMZN ) patents related to cloud-computing

technology.
