The German IPCom wants a sales ban on HTC devices in Germany. The company appeals to a ruling that a judge in 2009. The ban would, therefore, quickly can be set.
In 2009, the judge decided that HTC infringed on a patent, which IPCom a sales ban could enforce. The Taiwanese manufacturer appealed, but gave up this last week. Possible chose HTC to do this because IPCom in the appeal of two patents with respect where the manufacturer is infringed.
IPCom indicated as quickly as possible the pronunciation of the German court of power to want to make. It thinks the company is that the products of HTC this year the shops are to be achieved. HTC seems to want to slow down by conscious patent’s validity in doubt, but because the judge already made a decision, it seems the manufacturer has little chance to make.
That particular patent relates to 3g technology. Therefore, it is likely that products that feature will no longer be allowed to be sold. Because HTC as well as all of his phones with 3g delivers, the manufacturer will sell the entire range of smartphones should cease.
In Germany was previously a sales ban enacted for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, after Apple with a lawsuit filed. The Korean manufacturer managed to wriggle out of it by a modified version to sell. Also Apple got a sales ban is imposed, but the company from Cupertino will probably get a deferment.
