Nokia moves high court over rejection of 5G network slicing patent

Nokia Technologies, a subsidiary of Finnish multinational Nokia Corp., has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the Indian Patent Office’s refusal to grant its patent for an “enhanced registration procedure” designed to support its advanced 5G network slicing technology in India.

On 17 July, Justice Saurabh Banerjee issued notice to the assistant controller of patents and designs, directing a response to Nokia’s plea. The matter is scheduled for further hearing in November.
