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.

I can’t believe I have to defend reddit for once.

    How does their current logo “remind” is about their focus on patent licensing and telecom…?

      Seems like they switched to this logo:

      It does kind of feel like the logo of a consultancy/legal/finance group to me. But I could also imagine this looking decent when embossed onto a phone…

        Their logo is trash, but it’s still so much better than the damned “KNI” (KIA) logo I see all around town.
