======================================================================

Amazon has filed a lawsuit against Nokia, accusing the Finnish telecomms 
giant of infringing on a dozen patents relating to cloud computing 
technology. 

The lawsuit , initiated in the Delaware federal court earlier this week, 
Amazon alleges that Nokia unlawfully utilized technology developed by its 
cloud division, Amazon Web Services, to enhance its own cloud computing 
offerings. 

Amazon claims Nokia has misappropriated AWS technology related to cloud 
infrastructure, security and performance. Amazon sues Nokia over cloud

The complaint outlines Amazons history of cloud innovation, dating back to 
the early 2000s when the company started developing its cloud computing 
technology. 

Amazon claims to have democratiz[ed] access to computing infrastructure and 
software through its cloud-based, on-demand services model, whereby 
previously businesses relied on expensive on-prem infrastructure. 

Boasting more than 90% of Fortune 100 companies use AWS, Amazon says Nokias 
new company strategy, announced in 2020, six years after the company exited 
the mobile device market, involve[s] leveraging Amazons innovative solutions, 
including Amazons patented technology, to address issues faced by cloud 
service providers. 

The company goes on to claim: it was Amazon that pioneered in the cloud, and 
now Nokia is using Amazon's patented cloud innovations without permission. 

The lawsuit details the 12 instances of patent infringement, including 
virtual machine configuration, network communication management and resource 
autoscaling. 

The lawsuit comes in response to 13 legal proceedings filed by Nokia late 
last year in the US, Brazil, India, Germany, the UK and the EU relating to 
video patents. 

Nokia said (via Reuters ) it would review these matters and defend ourselves 
vigorously in court." An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment. 

A person familiar with the matter told TechRadar Pro that although Amazon 
claims that Nokia has been unwilling to accept fair market terms for its 
patented IP, the company hopes to come to a mutually agreeable resolution
