In an amended SEC filing ahead of its IPO, Reddit warned potential investors that "...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims." Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business many years ago, and reminded people of it with last year’s logo redesign. Companies paying Nokia licensing fees include HTC, Apple, and more recently, Oppo.
Given it’s reddit I can’t see how it could be about anything other than software patents.
We absolutely know it’s about patents. That’s the only thing we know.
But we don’t know what the patents are, and what the infringement allegations are. Knowing that will help us determine who is in the right.
I’m always glad when I see your comments, and that’s definitely true for this post.
Thanks. Yours aren’t too shabby either!
No false praise, please.
Ok. You’re a fart face.
That’s better.
