(photo source: Nokia official website) according to foreign media reports, Nokia said on November 29 that the company is currently working to end disputes with Daimler and other enterprises in Germany, which had complained to the EU anti-monopoly regulatory agency that Nokia has received too much technology patent licensing fees. The source told the media that Nokia had submitted a proposal to resolve the patent licensing dispute, but the source did not give details. The document could lead the European Commission to abandon its investigation of the company and eliminate the threat of penalties for Nokia's abuse of power. In October, the European Commission hinted at a possible investigation of Nokia, a source said. The European Commission declined to comment. In the fields of navigation system, vehicle to vehicle communication (V2V) and automobile, the technology enterprises and the automobile industry have always had different opinions on the issue of technology use fee. With the development of electric vehicles, these technologies are becoming more and more concerned. Daimler, German electronics company bury technologies, German auto parts manufacturer Continental, French Valeo and chip manufacturer Gemalto, affiliated with Thales, all complained to the European Commission, saying Nokia charged too much patent fees for key technologies of automobile communication. "Nokia will continue to resolve business disputes related to our standardized cellular technology licensing in a constructive manner," Nokia said in a statement. Our goal is to make these technologies widely used in many industries, so as to benefit consumers and customers all over the world. " But Nokia did not elaborate on specific proposals in the statement. Daimler declined to comment on Nokia's proposal, but a spokesman for the company said: "we want to be clear about how Telecom standard patents need to be licensed in the automotive industry. Up to now, Nokia has declined to provide our suppliers with full and direct authorization. The fair and non discriminatory use of telecommunications standard basic patents by all users is a prerequisite for the development of new products and services for Internet driving. "
