Nokia pays $20 million for UMTS patents to Qualcomm

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Nokia (NOK : NOK

NOK took a tentative step toward settling its patent dispute with Qualcomm (QCOM), with Nokia paying $20 million for patent licenses covering the second quarter over UMTS licenses. "Nokia believes that Qualcomm's patent portfolio is concentrated in the United States, and that it has few or no alleged UMTS patents in many of the countries in which Nokia has substantial UMTS handset sales," the Finnish handset maker said. Nokia said it will make similar payments in the future. Nokia said it retains the right to ask Qualcomm and its customers to respect Nokia's patent lawsuits, and that Qualcomm's entire chipset business becomes exposed to Nokia's patent portfolios on April 9.

Interesting take that it's to move towards settlement. I don't buy that at all. It's more game playing.
