"Last we heard from the seemingly endless Nokia / Qualcomm kvetch-fest, the former company was soliciting the ITC's help in barring US Qualcomm chip imports, but for those wishing on their lucky stars that this spat would simply vanish into the night, we've got marginally good news. Apparently, a trio of judges in a Dutch court ruled that it didn't have jurisdiction to rule on the phone maker's claims outside of The Netherlands, thus, the patent-licensing case against Qualcomm was dismissed. Aside from claiming that its \"jurisdiction was limited,\" the court also stated that Nokia's gripe was \"too broad to give a reasoned decision.\" Of note, a German court also dismissed the case just last month on \"similar grounds,\" but if you were counting on Nokia to just take the news in stride, we doubt you'll be pleased to hear that it's already \"considering if it will appeal the decision.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
