Nokia wins three games: HTC is banned by Germany

Nokia and HTC's patent lawsuits in Germany are still continuing. Compared with the UK, Nokia can be said to be fruitful in Germany. A German court in Munich recently ruled that HTC infringed on all of Nokia's EP 1578613 B1 patents and banned all HTC devices infringing the patent on the German market and banning the importation of related products. In addition to being convicted of infringement, HTC will also need to pay the patent infringement compensation to Nokia, the specific amount of payment will be in the subsequent independent action. The patents involved in the Nokia and HTC patent lawsuits are the ability to move base stations to modify their own revision levels based on the revision level network protocol. Simply put, how the new device adapts to the old network. The patent may sound important, but it is not a standard key patent (standard-essential Patent, Sep). In the two-month period, Nokia won a third victory in Germany, the third time a German court ordered a ban on HTC equipment. For the first time, HTC has been banned for infringing Nokia's patents on USB ports used by mobile phones. The second was because HTC violated Nokia's patent for a near-field communication (NFC) or Bluetooth transmission of resource information.
