M3S - the case was dismissed on procedural grounds:

BERLIN, Oct 23 (Reuters) - A German regional court on Tuesday dismissed a case on procedural grounds in which Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) filed a complaint against U.S chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM.O: Quote, Profile, Research) patents in Germany.

The court in Mannheim said Nokia could appeal the decision.

Nokia, the world's top cellphone maker, and Qualcomm are in numerous legal disputes over a key cross-licensing agreement over technology patents that expired in April 2007.

Nokia has said it wanted authorities to rule that Qualcomm's patents are exhausted with respect to products sold on the European Union market with a Qualcomm licence -- in this case chipsets supplied by Texas Instruments (TXN.N: Quote, Profile, Research).

Nokia has filed a similar complaint in The Hague District Court in the Netherlands.
