This comes as HMD had already reached agreements with both Microsoft and Nokia about the use of the Nokia brand and some design rights. The agreement HMD signed with Nokia is exclusive and valid for 10 years. However, the agreement with Microsoft has some conditions and only covers the use of the Nokia name in basic phones.

HMD is planning to further spend around 400 million euros on marketing the Nokia brand for the next three years. Going forward, HMD Global has assured that it will further expand the Nokia-branded feature phone portfolio, which will be comprised of breakthrough phones.
