Press Release
Nokia achieves ISO 9001 for its high-quality patenting process
- Nokia one of the first companies to receive ISO 9001 certification for its patent portfolio management
- Independent certification assessed every step of Nokia’s patent portfolio process
- ISO 9001 is the world’s best-known standard for quality management systems
Espoo,
The independent certification assessed every step of Nokia’s patent portfolio management process covering the entire lifetime of the patents and resulted in the awarding of the highly respected ISO 9001 certification.
ISO 9001 is the world’s best-known standard for quality management systems, with over one million organizations independently certified worldwide. It provides a framework for organizations to ensure consistent results when designing, developing, and delivering products and services.
Nokia’s industry-leading patent portfolio is built on more than €130 billion invested in R&D since 2000 and is composed of around 20,000 patent families, including over 3,500 patent families declared essential to 5G. Several independent third-party studies have ranked Nokia among the top for ownership of patents that have been declared as essential to cellular standards, including 5G. We continue to refresh the portfolio investing over €4bn in R&D last year and filing patent applications on more than 1,500 new inventions.
Nokia contributes its inventions to open standards in return for the right to license them on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. Companies can license and use these technologies without the need to make their own substantial investments in R&D.
