jist1 ~ Your posts insinuate that Nokia is going OUT OF the CELLPHONE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS. Do some more DD and less posting ~ Nokia can sell handsets again under its own brand as early as 2015 and it can sell phones under a different brand immediately. Under the terms of the deal, Nokia can't license the Nokia brand to anyone that might use it to sell mobile phones for a period of 30 months. And should Nokia wish to re-enter the devices market itself, it can use the Nokia name for its own kit from the start of calendar 2016.

So in theory, in just over two years, Nokia could launch its own line of mobile devices again alongside Microsoft's own Nokia-branded feature phones. Six months after that, it could begin licensing its name to another manufacturer, meaning there could theoretically be three companies selling phones under the Nokia brand.

SO - think about an infringement ruling an how that WILL IMPACT EVERYTHING Nokia does going forward.
