Nokia had alleged that Amazon used its technologies in streaming services and devices without authorization. Suits were filed in the United States, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, and the European Unified Patent Court. In February, Nokia won an injunction at a Dusseldorf court, and earlier scored a victory at the U.S. International Trade Commission.
