I'm just guessing that, though, but it's typical of lawyers to think that way in writing. Still, I'm sure it might be totally legit for them to invest in something to PREPARE for a 2016 release of a product they can manufacture (for example Jolla, if Nokia was smart enough to plan ahead).
I am willing to bet their name means exactly NOKIA and not what you say, but I don't know the wording either.

I just think that if it was as you say, it would simply say "not sell devices" to cover everything.
