bad news for HTC , and it is not unique in this respect: the company lost another lawsuit against Nokia , due to the violation of some patents. The decision was taken by the German court and concerned for the accuracy the patent EP 1578613 B1 Nokia, which describes the way in which it interacts with a smartphone networks older, so a network protocol, you This is a patent that use several devices and thus has caused a lot ‘of problems to the company.
The court, in fact, decided to ban from the market all smartphones that infringe the patent (patent which, of course, is not part of the so-called SEP ‘Standard Essential Patent’, ie those who actually have to be licensed ): you did not specify what these devices, but, regardless of the amount, the reaction HTC must not have been good for nothing.
The company, in fact, has already lost two lawsuits against Nokia , of which the European patent EP 1148681 , which covered the “transfer of resource information “ via Bluetooth or NFC (for example, Android Beam , which is present on all devices of the company and that you can see in the video posted at the beginning), the loss of this patent, think about it, did not take a precautionary measure but a permanent ban of the whole line One state. The third case involved the connection of the phone via USB to a computer and this, as we said, has been lost by HTC.
all this you need to add that HTC will have to pay well as damage to Nokia , even if the decision was not taken in this procedure: everything will be discussed in the future with a separate process. HTC already not going through a good period financial-economic: these problems will only further worsen its crisis. How will he react now?
