Blackberry launched a lawsuit against Nokia alleging that the Finnish manufacturer infringed several of its most valuable patents.
The issue came out just days before the both companies are going to introduce their new smartphones, with Nokia P1 and the BlackBerry Mercury.
It is interesting to note that BlackBerry is demanding that Nokia pay royalties and damages instead of stopping the Finnish tech giant from using the patents altogether.
This isn’t the first time that the two companies have clashed in a patent infringement case. Back in 2012, Nokia attempted to ban the sale of Blackberry smartphones in the US in a similar patent issue. Blackberry has demanded a jury trial to resolve the issue in the US district court of Delaware.
