Nokia has a patent on making things out of bricks, and the CEO of Reddit has a brick for a head. Case closed if you ask me.

Can't seem to find that anywhere, but there's a totally organic and not at all sus post on Reddit calling Nokia patent trolls.

It's not mentioned in the filing, so we can only speculate.

...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims.

That's all we've got to go on.

Thank you for asking that question. That was the primary reason I was going to read the article. Since it doesn’t explain that, I won’t bother.

Presumably patents relating to the implementation of bad management strategies

Huge innovation by Stephen Elop.

Maybe it’s a patent about painfully slow product development. They’re both pretty great at that.

Maybe the real patents are the friends we made along the way?

Good question.
