Oppo and Nokia shake hands: the patent dispute is over
24.1.2024
Translation: machine translated
The dispute with Nokia over patent fees led Oppo to stop selling some of its devices. The agreement reached is in favour of both sides.
The signatures are in place: smartphone manufacturer Oppo (including OnePlus) has concluded a joint agreement with Nokia for global patent licences. This involves patents in the 5G area and other mobile phone technologies. The two companies have not disclosed the exact terms of the agreement.
Now the two parties have come to an agreement. Feng Ying, Chief Intellectual Property Officer at Oppo, explains: "Oppo remains committed to reasonable licence fees and a long-term approach to intellectual property (...)." Although Oppo must also pay the licence fees that the company paused during the dispute, all previous legal disputes will be discontinued with immediate effect.
The devices from Oppo are among my personal favourites and I look forward to providing you with future product tests on exceptional smartphones such as the Oppo Find N3 Flip or the OnePlus Open. So far, I've only been able to do news on the folding phones.

In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
