Press Release
Body = Helsinki, Finland -- Following a patent granted to an integral
component of the hands-free function in mobile phones, a Finnish
inventor has sued Nokia for patent infringement. The process in
the Helsinki District Court is supported by Anadeus Ltd, a company
that specialises in aiding patent holders in disputes.
The Finnish
inventor Jari Lahtinen invented a remote control function for mobile
phones. This invention received a patent in the late 2003 from the
National Board of Patents and Registrations of Finland.
Mr Lahtinen
is now seeking a rightful compensation from Nokia for violating
the patent. According to Antti Kosunen, CEO of Anadeus, the exact
amount of compensation demand could rise to millions of euros or
even considerably higher, depending of Nokia’s sales volumes
related to the patent.
This is one
of the first cases in which Nokia has been sued in court in its
home country for patent infringement. “Inventors are often
private citizens with limited resources to fight an infringement
battle against a giant company like Nokia. Anadeus has been established
to help such inventors by, among other things, financing the processes
and providing expert advice. This case is likely to attract more
inventors to fight for rightful compensation in justifiable cases”,
says Mr. Kosunen.
Anadeus has
offices in Helsinki and Stockholm. In addition it has an extensive
network of partners in the United States and several other countries.
