Nokia and Apple Settle Patent Dispute

Photography By Urban Eyes posted a photo:

Nokia and Apple have agreed a technology licensing agreement that ends the long-running legal dispute between the two firms.

"The agreement will result in settlement of all patent litigation between the companies," Nokia said.


Nokia sued Apple for patent infringements in 2009 and extended the action in December last year.


Apple had countersued, accusing Nokia of infringing its patents.


Nokia said Apple had agreed a one-off payment, the value of which was not disclosed, and ongoing royalties to use its technologies.


Apple said the deal covered both companies' patents.

Well you could have tickled me pink today!


I was awoken by my four year old, Max, who is V excited as 5th birthday is on Friday! Who wanted a game of Paper, Scissor & Stones this morning!


Then later on I read this article, on my Apple I-phone, whilst doing what men do for 30 mins in the morning!


And as you can imagine yes, at last, my Eureka moment!


Even shot this in my kids climbing frame to add a touch of "Je ne sais pas!"


Anyhow off for a nap now!

PS - Wiki say's:-


Rock-paper-scissors is a hand game played by two or more people. The game is known by many names, including other orderings of the three items in the name (with "stone" often substituted by speakers of British English), piedra papel o tijera, fargling, cachi-pún, burung-batu-air ("bird-stone-water"), jan-ken-pon (and variants including jan-ken-poi and janken), baau-jin-dup (Cantonese: "wrap-cut-crash"), kauwi-bauwi-bo (Korean: "scissors-rock-cloth"), камень-ножницы-бумага and rochambeau.
