Nokia Will Pay You for Great Innovations, Ideas

If you have an idea and want someone to listen to you, Nokia is the company you want to go to. Not only that they are accepting innovations, but they also promise to pay for them.

So, in case you came up with something that has the potential to become great, but you lack the necessary means to turn it into reality, you can go to Nokia to ask for help, or sign another kind of deal with the company.

The leading mobile phone maker came up with a website where inventors can submit their ideas to be analyzed and accepted as innovations.

Of course, not all ideas are of interest to the company, but only those related to the mobile industry, it seems.

The list of inventions that could bring you some money from the company would include ideas related to mobile phones or to mobile phone applications and services, along with those related to phone features, concepts, wireless technologies, OSes, or mobile service infrastructure.

According to Nokia they did not put in place the website because they lack innovations, but to offer others the possibility to make their ideas known to the world as well.

Here's what the company notes on the matter:

Even though we have thousands of talented people and invest billions of dollars each year in R&D, we are eager to work with external companies who can bring diverse technology and new ideas to our business.

Our successful track record of Strategic Alliances has built a strong collaborative spirit within Nokia.

Not only can we provide the infrastructure that could see your inventions in daily use around the world, you will find us straightforward and clear in your interactions with us.

Ideas that prove valuable would be awarded accordingly, the company states:

In principle you will be eligible for an award if we apply for a patent based on your invention. You may be eligible for a further award depending on the success of the product and the level of award you choose at the patent application stage.

Those interested in the matter should head over to the aforementioned website here, where they can register to start submitting their ideas.
