Q2 comparable operating margin decreased 290bps y-o-y to 6.6% (reported up 790bps to 1.8%), driven by a negative EUR 50 million venture fund impact which includes a EUR 60 million negative currency revaluation. Operating profit was also impacted by tariffs.

Yes, Nokia has a very substantial number of patents and is a major player in intellectual property, particularly in the telecommunications industry.
Here's a summary of their patent portfolio:
* Total Patents: Nokia has a global portfolio of tens of thousands of patents. Some reports indicate over 56,000 global patents, with a significant number being active and granted.
* Patent Families: They possess around 20,000 patent families, where each family can include multiple individual patents covering the same invention in different countries.
* Standard Essential Patents (SEPs): Nokia holds a leading share of SEPs, especially in cellular standards. They have over 7,000 patent families declared essential for 5G, and their active pre-standardization work positions them strongly for 6G. This is particularly important because SEPs are fundamental to industry standards, meaning companies using those standards need to license Nokia's technology.
* Key Technologies: Their patents cover a wide range of technologies, with a strong focus on:
* Network & Communication (telecommunications infrastructure, network protocols, wireless communication systems)
* Wireless (mobile communications, radio access technologies)
* Multimedia Technology (video compression, audio processing)
* Software, Computer Systems, and Security Software
* R&D Investment: Nokia's extensive patent portfolio is a result of significant investment in research and development, with over €150 billion invested in R&D since 2000.
* Licensing: Nokia actively licenses its patented technologies to over 250 companies across various sectors, including smartphone vendors and automotive brands, generating substantial revenue. They frequently engage in licensing agreements and sometimes litigation to protect their intellectual property.
In essence, Nokia's patent portfolio is a cornerstone of its business, reflecting its historical leadership in mobile technology and its continued innovation in network infrastructure and future communication standards.
