Nokia Licenses DRM Applications

Intertrust Technologies has entered into a patent licensing agreement with Nokia for a portfolio of patents in the areas of digital rights management (DRM) and trusted computing. Licensed technologies covered under the agreement include those relating to the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), Marlin DRM specifications, and various trusted distributed mobile computing standards.

Intertrust is a founding member of several initiatives promoting open standards in the DRM area including the Marlin Developer Community and the Marlin Trust Management Organization.

"This license provides Nokia with the design freedom to deliver many advanced features in mobile computing," said Matti Kauppi, vice president of Intellectual Property Rights, Nokia. "We have previously worked with Intertrust and are pleased that our thinking regarding the development of DRM technology has once again come closer together."

"Nokia is a wireless market leader whose innovative products continue to set and drive major mobile trends," said Talal Shamoon, chief executive officer of Intertrust. "We look forward to Nokia incorporating our technology into exciting new mobile devices and services that benefit content providers and consumers."
