How do you work that one out when Elop is the CEO and Nokia will only be making the hardware, unless someone is very stupid i very much doubt Microsoft will want or even need royalties from a partner ? even if sold under the name of Nokia. It all depends i guess on the partnership contract.
As a result of the deal, Nokia will pay Microsoft royalties for the Windows Phone platform, starting only when the Finnish company launches its first Windows Phone devices. Microsoft has also agreed to make payments to Nokia “measured in the billions of dollars” for services but also intellectual property royalties.
