Nokia just announced that it has concluded a multi-year, multi-technology patent cross-license agreement with Lenovo. Under the agreement, Lenovo will make a net balancing payment to Nokia. The terms of the agreement remain confidential. The agreement resolves all pending patent litigation and other proceedings between the two parties, in all jurisdictions.
Lenovo defended itself pretty well against Nokia s patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S., Germany, and India, and brought a FRAND action in the Northern District of California. Nokia had some success in the Munich I Regional Court, but the appeals court stayed the enforcement of an injunction. Another Munich trial was scheduled for July. Last summer, Nokia filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission seeking an import ban, but a decision on that complaint would still have taken some more time.

any H.264-related patent royalties
The fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) royalty rate for Nokia s entire portfolio of video codec patents
allegedly essential to the H.264 standard may be
ZERO. Or at least not much more than that, unless Nokia stages an unprecedented turnaround in its SEP dispute with Chinese computer maker Lenovo.
When all is said and done, it s possible that a number of licensing executives in the industry will realize they shouldn t have met Nokia s H.264-related royalty demands: they should all have defended themselves like Lenovo. Now it s too late: license agreements generally don t allow a recovery of fees that could have been avoided by litigation. Don t feed the troll!
