李伟王芳 + 77 ZL December 20, 2018 A German court on Thursday found in favor of US chipmaker Qualcomm in a patent dispute case against Apple, which could lead to a ban on sales of iPhones in Germany. Given that Apple can appeal the initial ruling, the court said the injunction banning sales of affected iPhones can only be imposed immediately if Qualcomm laid down a security deposit amounting to 668.4 million euros Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nigerian Price + 22 SK December 20, 2018 the patent is so dumb. It's even more stupid than Apple suing Samsung. I honestly can't believe a product can be banned for something like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cokiga Damke + 53 CD December 20, 2018 I know Tim Cook is very clever,, but he has gone way too far with QCOM. Apple is now facing sales injunctions in China and Germany. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most similar cases are decided differently in higher, more competent courts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
