Nokia and Samsung announced that they have expanded patent cross license on July 13, according to the press release of Nokia Corporation. This deal is mainly an expansion of the agreement reached by both parties in February in order to give further access to additional patented technologies. With the expanded terms, Nokia expects a positive growth on revenues from patents and brand licensing, and achieves the goal of returning to the smartphone business in the near future. The deal is anticipated to help Nokia and Samsung enhance their ability to defend patent wars when developing advanced technologies.
