Even as the
Google Nexus 7 tablet was only introduced recently by Google, it has reportedly
infringed some patents owned by other manufacturers.
According to
Nokia, the upcoming Google Nexus 7is reportedly using the Wi-Fi technology that
is covered by a patent held by Nokia. The Finnish manufacturer also indicated
it was not approached by Google or Asus in connection to licensing the supposed
technology.
The upcoming
Google Nexus 7 is manufactured by Asus and will feature the latest mobile OS of
Google, the Jelly Bean Android. The device was introduced by Google during the
I/O event that was held in San Francisco recently.
A
spokesperson from Nokia revealed that the company owns over forty licenses that
are mainly for the standards essential patent portfolio of the company which
include a number of mobile device manufacturers. The patent portfolio of Nokia
does not include Google or Asus.
The
spokesperson added that companies that are not included in its standard
essential patents can simply approach the company and sign up for the license.
It remains
uncertain if a patent infringement claim will be filed by Nokia due to the
introduction of the Google Nexus 7 tablet and no statements were issued by the
company in connection to this.
No
statements were also issued by Google or Asus in connection to the claim of
patent infringement by the Google Nexus 7 tablet.
