I see no problem with that. All companies do that.
Exactly, and it is no different in Europe. Nokia has been lazy, and ridiculously so. The whole idea of patents is it gives you a legal document so you can go out there and protect your inventions from exploiters and frauds like HTC, Apple and RIM taking advantage of your hard work. A patent is not some medal you get because you have been clever, and it gives you no protection. You have to actively go out there yourself and protect your rights when they are exploited by others.

Anyway, it didn't seem to have any affect on the stocks, lower than ever today
