Why did Nokia do it?

Good question.

I don't think it was done to immunize itself against a claim of willful infringement as it is obvious to me that such a tactic will not work. Infringers are not allowed to set the terms of their own licenses.

Perhaps the amount is so trivial that NOK thought it was worth a try. It might con some court into thinking that the payment does provide it with an immunity.

Since they have to expect Q to refuse maybe they are telling the analyst what their accrual is going to be. I hope the analyst keep a close eye on their margins over the next six quarters.
