When Nokia sold their mobile phone handset division to Microsoft, they only sold them the rights to the name, for ten years.
These days Nokia phones are made by HMD, who are a joint venture between Nokia and Foxconn, and seem to be mostly staffed by people who used to work for Nokia before the handset business was sold off.

… and then they got into the tire industry. Ever hear of Nokian tires? Yup, that was them.

I feel there ought to be some sort of nerd joke springs from this, but I got nothing.
For some reason I’m imagining an ad campaign where the salmon, in original art style, keeps popping out of various openings in contemporary scenes and being aggressively enthusiastic about telecommunications things at people.
Stock-photo people talking in random coffee shop; salmon emerges from behind the register: “I am so pumped about the 5G Packet Core! Sub-6Ghz spectral efficiency!” then slides back out of sight.

Apparently the new KIA logo is so bad that many folks are searching on the web for KN cars
