This nothing more than a staged accident. Since this is already a collaborative project and contributed by people around the world, I'm going to release the complete email to its "intended recipients".

So, it sounds a bit far-fetched to send a notice to them for infringing Nokia’s rights. + +_Right?_ + +Of course, this is not surprising for companies, but for Nokia, it seems a bit too overly cautious and anti-competitive. + +Especially, when it is safe to say that the company is not doing as good as you’d expect with their latest smartphone releases. + +Interestingly, there’s also an [IT company][7] with the name “Notkia”, as spotted by a fellow Twitter user.
