I 20-F fra 1998 siger Nokia:

"Nokia is actively involved in and strongly promotes the creation of
open standards, resulting in even higher global volumes, economies of
scale and rapid migration towards the wireless information age."(sid. 5)

og

"Nokia management believes that rapid, innovative and regular
new product introductions are critical in order for Nokia to maintain
its leading position in the global market for mobile phones. Such
introductions include both new versions of existing products and
completely new models. Depending on products, it generally takes Nokia
from less than a year to two years to develop a new product line from
the research stage to final production." (sid. 9)

og

"The principal value-added component in mobile phones is computer
software. Thus, like the market for telecommunications systems, success
in the mobile phone industry requires continuous development of new
software."(sid. 10)

Måske er det samme problemer internt i Nokia som der er i IBM? Der er en
patentafdelning som må bevise at de er nödvendige?

Ventetiden er i snit 4 år hos EPO, og siden er patentet giltigt i 20
år. Er Nokias strategi fra 2003 at sänke sin innovationstakt, så at
den harmoniserer med hvordan de arbejder på EPO?
