They can use Nokia brand only for few years, they don't have rights for it. It was known right from the beginning of this selling story that Nokia brand will disappear from mobile devices industry. Only the remaining parts of Nokia, not sold to Microsoft (part working on localization services etc.), will be able to continue to use this name.

Only until 2015 I think, so a year more.

Until end of 2015 Nokia can not use Nokia brand for mobile devices. Microsoft can use Nokia brand for 10 years.
