OPPO escalates its counter-suit against Nokia: suing again in Germany

Recently, Jiwei.com learned that after OPPO counter-sued Nokia for patent infringement in China and Europe in early September, OPPO recently filed multiple patent infringement lawsuits against Nokia in the Mannheim Court in Germany. The patents involved are all 5G standard essential patents. This is also OPPO's continued counter-attack against Nokia after launching multiple patent infringement lawsuits against Nokia in early September.

In early July this year, Nokia filed dozens of patent infringement lawsuits against OPPO in nine countries around the world, including India, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Industry insiders speculated that the dispute may be caused by the failure of the two parties to reach an agreement on 5G patent licensing. Nokia continued its aggressive licensing strategy, intending to use litigation to force OPPO to accept its excessive patent licensing fees.

OPPO then filed multiple patent infringement lawsuits against Nokia in China and Europe in early September, using 5G base station patents to counter Nokia. According to a report by IAM Media, a well-known overseas intellectual property media on September 9, OPPO filed the lawsuit in the Beijing Intellectual Property Court in China, and the Munich and Hamburg courts in Germany. As a representative of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers and patent implementers, OPPO quickly confronted and fought back against Nokia, demonstrating its strong patent strength and global litigation capabilities, which was widely praised by the industry. This time, OPPO sued Nokia for infringement again in the Mannheim Court in Germany, showing that OPPO's counter-lawsuit against Nokia is still continuing to increase. Jiwei.com will continue to pay attention to the subsequent development of the litigation between the two parties.
