As part of the deal, Samsung will pay royalties to Nokia ( NOK ). This deal is separate from the company’s existing 5G patent license agreement, and the terms remain confidential.
Arvin Patel, Nokia’s Chief Licensing Officer for New Segments, stated, “The agreement is yet another proof point of Nokia’s leadership in video and multimedia technologies, and further validation of our decades-long investments in multimedia R&D and standardization.”
