What Invent with Nokia looks for?

We’re always looking for innovative ideas that will help us grow and diversify our patent portfolio. Invent With Nokia helps us source these ideas from external inventors. It gives us access to inventions that will help us realise the full potential of digital in every industry for a more productive, sustainable and accessible world. Some of these inventions are covered by patents, patent applications or registered designs. Almost all of them are in these areas:

Application & Analytics (security, IoT, etc)
Wireless Technologies (standards, non-standards, IoT, 5G & 6G radio, WiFi, core network)
Fixed Networks
Emerging Technologies
IP and Optical

Could I use Invent with Nokia to submit anything else apart from inventions?

No. Invent with Nokia is not the right place to enter business ideas, dealership offers, marketing proposals, feedback, job requests, patent Licensing, business or research funding requests or complaints.

I have filed a patent application. Can I submit it using the site?

No. For any licensing queries, please contact: https://www.nokia.com/licensing/patents/contact/

Any patent/patent application submissions to Invent with Nokia shall be rejected.

I have already published my invention in a research paper or online. Can I submit it to Invent With Nokia?

No. We expect all inventors not to have shared their ideas publicly before submitting to us - even if they have already applied for IP protection by filing an application at a patent office. If an invention has been published online, in a magazine, as a research paper or in some other public format, that will prevent global protection of the patent. At Nokia, we always look at filing patents globally. So it’s extremely rare that we file patent applications after an invention has been published.

What’s more, we don’t accept web links as submissions. Inventions must be described as text.
