HTC One (2014): dispute with Nokia and Release Date - the background - Giga.de

Kamal has already reported morning, a judge in the UK is probably something happens pretty stupid: He betrayed all appearances, the release date of HTC One successor to HTC One 2 (2014)! We want the circumstances of the whole (including court dispute with Nokia): still a little more detail).

the judge is Richard Arnold, a judge of the High Court (high court) . In a judgment he says that HTC a new smatphone in February or March publish or at least imagine.

The successor to the HTC One still has no official name. It is HTC One 2 One HTC 2014 or HTC M8 (internal name) of the question.

That would be quite plausible one year after the launch of the HTC Ones and there were echoes of the appointment. Whether it’s true or not: For HTC this information is certainly something annoying as smartphone manufacturers release dates not reveal too early. The reason is that otherwise the old flagship could no longer be sold so well because customers are waiting for the new model. And so, a spokeswoman for HTC also says that she knew nothing about a deratigen release. (Wers believes.)

Arnold but will not actually have the information from HTC, but from Nokia that had submitted to him proofs that HTC in the spring would bring a new phone on the market. ‘s lawyer HTC have not denied this , whereupon the judge had concluded that the information was correct.

background

The background is, Martin has already reported about it yesterday, a dispute between Nokia and HTC . In October last year, it was decided in a ruling that HTC infringed a patent by Nokia (in 1998). The chip with the appropriate technology came from Qualcomm, but the former judge was of the opinion that HTC royalties would have had to pay anyway.

In the latest ruling, the judge ruled that the O ne Max, One Mini, and Windows Phones 8X and 8S THEORY should no longer be sold .

HTC, however, has filed an appeal and so the ban could still get around. In any case, the company has promised not to import any other devices of the affected models until the dispute is settled. The smartphones could well be sold out by then.

HTC can only hope that the ban will not be put into practice since the United Kingdom HTC’s biggest market in Europe and the Christmas season is already underway.

What is next?

The new smartphone HTC One 2 (2014) was also mentioned in this context : “I am bound to say I am somewhat skeptical about this evidence did givenName HTC will be launching a new flagship Shortly phone Which can not be Assumed to infringe and THEREFORE be caught by the injunction. Nevertheless, I accept thatthere is a period in between now and February or March 2014 When HTC is vulnerable. “

HTC has argued that e would in complete sales ban a disproportionate punishment pose and Arnold agrees to HTC at least so far as that he currently sees the company as a very “vulnerable” until February or March brought a new device on the market, or at least presented, which no longer infringe the patent.
