Mobile tech giant Nokia has threaten to sue a London start-up firm for using the word "HERE".
Lowdownapp - the digital personal assistant that allows users to tell their friends and connection they have arrived at a scheduled location by pressing the button "HERE".
The company has also released a standalone app for checking in location which has angered Nokia.
Nokia claims the name infringe on it own brand name app HERE for mapping and navigation.
Nokia said it has invested $12m in promoting the HERE brand and has registered trademarks for the word.
