Legal Matters
A number of Nokia companies are, and will likely continue to
be, subject to various legal proceedings and investigations
that arise from time to time, including proceedings regarding
intellectual property, product liability, sales and marketing
practices, commercial disputes, employment, and wrongful
discharge, antitrust, securities, health and safety, environ-
mental, tax, international trade and privacy matters. As a
result, the Group may become subject to substantial liabilities
that may not be covered by insurance and could aff ect our
business and reputation. While Nokia does not believe that any
of these legal proceedings will a have a material adverse eff ect
on its fi nancial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable
and large judgments sometimes occur. As a consequence,
Nokia may in the future incur judgments or enter into settle-
ments of claims that could have a material adverse eff ect on its
results of operations and cash fl ow.
