I'll be ready to flip the second it comes out if this suit is BS.
But I'm initially siding with Nokia Oyj here because they have a decent track record of actually doing the legwork on their tech, advancing the science, and sharing that with the industry through sane licensing.
Also the company is one of the success stories of my country, so maybe I'm biased, but then that hasn't stopped me from hating exploitative pieces of shit like Rovio and Supercell.
I’m just going to wait until I hear the details of the suit. At this point I don’t really understand the point of picking a side when we have almost no information.
Fair enough. And I'm absolutely far more interested in convincing people to just not jump to "patent troll" with this little to go on.
And preferably not spreading misinfo like "nokia is just a microsoft puppet" when this is about the part of the company that MS never even acquired.
The point is that spez is a colossal fucking asshole and Nokia has never wronged me.
