I can't believe I have to defend reddit for once.

The fuck is wrong with The Verges logo

Nah, fuck spez. Patent trolls suck, but I hope they all go down together.

Thing is, if a patent applies to Reddit, there's a chance it applies to Lemmy or other boards as well. Unless it's very specific to Reddit alone, this is probably not a good thing.

How can they flex a networking parent on a SaaS? Doesn't that fall under some clause that's standard for doing business?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I hate patent trolls, but I will say "it couldn't have happened to a nicer company". I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Genuine question: does Nokia have a bad history with patent trolling?

To me Nokia is just that old cell phone company that never quite made it even though they were iconic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Fuck Stephen Elop. Nokia was amazing.

They’ve been bought and sold to the point that all that’s left is their patent portfolio. Their current business strategy appears to be “patent troll”. They’ve been holding industry telecommunications methods hostage instead of negotiating fair use fees.

Google “nokia lawsuit fair use”.

How does their current logo "remind" is about their focus on patent licensing and telecom...?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Seems like they switched to this logo:

It does kind of feel like the logo of a consultancy/legal/finance group to me. But I could also imagine this looking decent when embossed onto a phone...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Their logo is trash, but it's still so much better than the damned "KNI" (KIA) logo I see all around town.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Wow, I did not know, they changed their logo. Yeah, not a fan...

Some lines were taken already?

They wanted to write Aocia in fake Greek font.

These comments are kind of silly. There are 0 details about the patient claim, but a bunch of people are picking sides based on how they feel about a brand name. Classic Lemmy.

That 'article' is garbage. The headline is more imformative than the actual article.

Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business.....

Who puts "ahem, in an informational article?

Also how is "patent licensing" a part their new buisness. They submit patents for whatever they're doing just like everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Difference is most companies just want to hold onto the patent to prevent competition

patient claim

So we're talking healthcare business now?
