Nokia and Amazon reach agreement following streaming patent dispute

Nokia has signed a patent agreement with Amazon that allows the e-commerce giant to use its video technologies across its streaming services and devices after a two-year-long patent dispute.

The terms of the agreement, including financial terms, remain confidential.

Earlier this week, Arvin Patel, chief licensing officer new segments at Nokia said in a statement: “We are pleased to have reached agreement on the use of Nokia’s video technologies in Amazon’s streaming services and devices.”

The settlement, which resolves all patent disputes between the parties in all jurisdictions, follows several lawsuits filed by Nokia against Amazon since October 2023 for the unauthorised use of its video technologies in its streaming services and devices.

Several patent infringement lawsuits against Amazon were filed by Nokia between 2023 and 2025 in various jurisdictions, including the US, Germany, India, the UK, and the Unified Patent Court (UPC).

In September 2024, the Munich Regional Court in Germany ruled that Amazon uses Nokia’s patented technologies for video streaming and sells the devices without a licence. It granted Nokia an injunction to stop the sale of Amazon’s streaming devices in Germany, suspending sales of Amazon’s streaming devices in Germany in October 2023.

In December 2024, Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliott of the US International Trade Commission also agreed in a settlement statement that Amazon’s end-user devices infringe Nokia’s patented video technology, recommending an exclusion order blocking the importation of Amazon’s accused products into the US.

During the same year, Dusseldorf Regional Court ruled that the Amazon Prime Video streaming service infringes one of Nokia’s patents and granted Nokia an injunction.

“The patent covers an implementation method for provisioning a multimedia service to a rendering device from a communication device by a server – this covers streaming features such as Amazon Prime Video’s casting functionality,” Nokia said in a statement.

Nokia’s video and multimedia technologies include video compression, content delivery, content recommendations and aspects related to hardware. According to Nokia, over the past 25 years, it has created almost 5 000 inventions that enable multimedia products and services.

The firm has invested over €150 billion in R&D since 2000, with allocations of up to €4.5 billion in 2024 for cutting-edge technologies including cellular and multimedia.

Nokia has recently sealed new partnerships, including with US telecommunications service provider AT&T in January to extend their voice core relationship as part of a multi-year deal.

The move comes as the US operator seeks to strengthen its customer-centric networks and increase automation and operational efficiency to promote new services.

In the same month, the Finnish tech firm also signed a multi-year patent licence agreement with Samsung for the use of its video technologies in the company’s TV sets.
