The company said the cases involved Amazon’s Prime Video service as well devices that violated Nokia’s patents on “video compression, content delivery, content recommendation and aspects related to hardware.”

“We’ve been in discussions with each of Amazon and HP for a number of years,” said Arvin Patel, Nokia’s chief licensing officer, in a blog post.

“But sometimes litigation is the only way to respond to companies who choose not to play by the rules followed and respected by others,” he added.
