Nokia has already last week before the Munich District Court reached a decisive victory against HTC: So the Finns erwirkten an import and sales ban for many HTC devices in Germany. So HTC products violate Nokia’s patent EP 1246071, which affects roughly the automatic driver configuration, if you connect a smartphone to a PC. As a result of the judgment some HTC smartphones in Germany may no longer be imported or sold as soon as Nokia deposited a security of 50 million euros.
So as he sets since 2012 existing litigation between Nokia and HTC continue. Nokia HTC throws in a number of countries in different processes to hurt before a total of 50 patents of the company. HTC will now be canceled by an action for annulment, the judgment. According to current HTC smartphones like the HTC one, HTC One Mini and the HTC One Max, however, are already exempt from the judgment, as it does not infringe the patent.
However, to the One series from HTC’s spring for the Nokia patent EP 1148681 hurt showing connections between two devices via Bluetooth or NFC, for example, describes. To obtain a permanent cessation of sales in this case, Nokia would now have to deposit a security of 400 million euros. Currently it looks as if Nokia aims exactly this. Ironically, the Finns HTC have suggested in a public statement to note as attachments for the new year in the future patents. (André Westphal)
Munich Regional Court ruled on Monday in patent dispute between Nokia and HTC in favor of the Finns. So Nokia has obtained a sales ban on all HTC devices with Android in Germany – the One series is concerned. HTC violates the competent judge Matthias Zigann according to a Nokia patent for a method of “transferring resource information”.
Specifically, it is in the Nokia patent EP1148681 to a method for transmitting data wirelessly between two devices. This refers to transfers via NFC or Bluetooth. Connections over WLAN have nothing to do with the patent. In the U.S., HTC could miss a required Nokia sales ban by a modification. Maybe that would be the solution for the German market.
seen Theoretically, the HTC phones could disappear by the decision of the court of the German shelves. According to the website FossPatents it is not in the patent namely a standard-relevant patent. This means it must not be licensed on FRAND terms. The injunction also be permanent. One can assume that HTC is appealing before HTC One & Co hirzulande Adé say.
For the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC, it was not a particularly good year and it goes well with a defeat to an end. A Munich court considered that HTC devices such as the One against a Nokia patent infringed.
The legal battle between Nokia and HTC was terminated in favor of the Finnish manufacturer’s yesterday. At the Munich District Court Judge Matthias Zigann spoke of a Germany-wide and permanent injunction against a range of HTC models like the blog FOSS Patents reported.
In concrete terms, in the already one and a half years of litigation by the European patent number EP1148681, which is part of Nokia. This describes a “method for the transmission of source information” (as a URL) by two users connect their mobile devices via NFC or Bluetooth (but no Wi-Fi or Internet). HTC can appeal against the decision Insert. Should the Taiwanese company, the court not immediately clear and convincing be taken that the appeal has big chance of success, then Nokia has the ability to enforce against have to leave a security in the amount of 400 million euros the injunction. This also means that Nokia may require that the HTC models that infringe the patent, takes from the market. The security payment from Nokia is for the purpose of any award of damages by HTC, this gives the manufacturers from Asia entitled, you should be able to prevail on appeal against Nokia. Whether it actually comes to a ban on the sale, it is currently unclear. HTC can remove the standing associated with the patent function or (financially) some with Nokia in this regard.
Since the patent would also have consequences for all other Android manufacturers, currently also initiatives from HTC and Google run itself, it invalidated can be explained. However, for the decision of the District Court which came too late and could not be considered.
Nokia yesterday before the District Court of Munich I ban the sale of all Android devices from HTC enforced. They violate a patent for a “method for transmission of information resources” via NFC or Bluetooth. Judge Matthias Zigann decided despite the admittedly broad system of the patent, in favor of Nokia to judge.
FOSS Patents blogger Florian Mueller points out that it is not a standard-relevant patent, so it does not even have to be licensed on FRAND terms. The injunction is also durable – HTC could therefore unlimited disappear from the shelves in Germany. Previously, HTC will probably appeal.
question Nokia’s Patent EP1148681 should also represent other Android manufacturers a threat. It describes simply a method of exchanging data between two devices via radio. While it does not apply to Wi-Fi networks, but also Bluetooth and NFC are omnipresent in the Android world.
Earlier this month, HTC has already missed by a modification of a well erwirkten by Nokia sales ban in the U.S.. Such a modification would be an alternative to an appeal, whether such a possibility exists technically, it is unclear
.
While Nokia and HTC continue their long-standing patent dispute , Apple and Samsung negotiate in South Korea reportedly over a global patent peace. However, just tried in an exploratory phase in the presence of cartel guards to allow for alignment at the level of the license fee, where both are far apart: Apple supposedly expected $ 30 compensation per device sold, which violated his rights.

The HTC One 2 (M8) casts its glow. Show five current design concepts of how the community HTCs introduces new flagship.
We all know the Samsung Prmiummodellen: Prior to the presentation, many designers make use of the favorable moment to draw attention to themselves with their own creations. Many design is bad, so many but also so good that one wishes, the manufacturer may leave inspired by him.
same time is the number of free designs, a good indicator of the popularity of a device. Thus, various design concepts came from the Galaxy S4 together in March 25. Also from the Galaxy S5 already circulating the first draft. Seen in HTC may lucky. Occupy five current design plans, how hot the successor of the popular HTC One is expected
A British judge revealed a few days before the scheduled release period for the one-successor. In terms of specs 2GB of RAM and a fingerprint scanner is in rumors from a 5-inch Full HD display with a 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, the speech. The operating system Android is 4.4 (KitKat) are used. In addition, it is with HTC Sense 6.0 have the latest version of HTC’s in-house user interface on board.
five current design designs:
1 Jinesh Shah
his Google+ account common Jinesh Shah on Sunday evening his HTC Two-design with HTC Sense 6.0. Prominent feature is undoubtedly the sharp corners held, facing round. The shape keeps Shah also with the app icons by.
2 HTC mate
The design of HTCmate oriented very close to the original HTC one, but the edge of the display is kept very narrow. In addition, anybody wants a 2K display and a 805 Snapdragon processor.
3 Techradar
From a 2K display also dream of the graphic techradar. With 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU, 3GB RAM, 4,000 mAh battery and 10 Ultra pixel camera Also the remaining specs are impressive. Your design to put them in an elaborate video before.
4 Wax model
consists of chunky design that has emerged in the Chinese network Weibo a few days ago from wax. He comes from a larger display, but otirntiert is largely the design of its predecessor.
5 Rohit Singh
Rohit Singh, whose design is visible through concept-phones, also comes from a design close of the first one. Also, a larger display and fingerprint scanners are set for him. However, he is hoping for a 12 ultra pixel camera
Thomas Chien, former head of design at the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC has been provided with five other former employees to court: you will bribery and betrayal of trade secrets accused
Influential. HTC employees should have taken advantage of their positions at the shops in the smartphone sector. Taiwanese authorities identified under the provisions of the so-called Trade Secrets Act, of the theft, which governs unauthorized reproduction or disclosure of trade secrets. The provisions of the Trade Secrets Acts are still fairly new, the investigation at HTC is among one of the first major cases published only this year provisions.
The Indictment should be doing on HTC Internal as well as on a small group of persons with the suppliers of HTC relate.
Thomas Chien then assigned a former vice president of design leaked a very special role. He is said to have submitted false billings and is therefore under the suspicion of enrichment. In addition, he is said to have taken trade secrets, to use them for building their own startups. According to the indictment, it is about the design for a yet unpublished adaptation of the operating system interface Sense, which are used by HTC.
The evidence must be overwhelming, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal and the Taipei Times. Some of the defendants were found large sums of cash, which should come from the collection of bribes. Said to have been found alone in Chien in autumn during the investigation converted approximately 250,000 Euro cash. These were found in the defendant’s plans for establishing your own smartphone provider. It is said that the court would impose penalties of up to ten years imprisonment for individual defendants. To this end, there was talk of high fines. The amount of damage was estimated at the equivalent of 1.2 million euros.
In Taiwan have been found guilty of six employees HTC . They have, according to the court reveal company secrets, accepted bribes and submitted false billings. This report, the Wall Street Journal and the Taipei Times.
Among the accused was the former Vice President of Product Design Thomas Chien. He and the five other convicts have the concept of a planned smartphone surface – presumably a revised version of HTC’s Android interface Sense – issued to third parties. This should have been the first step to establish a company for smartphone design in Taiwan and China itself.
Chien and his co-defendants received, according to the prosecutor’s office also converted some 800,000 euros in bribes and were exhibit suppliers of false invoices. The names of the three contact persons from the supply chain are not yet known.
The Taipei Times, however, has been made public to whom it is in the other convicts – namely Research Director Wu Chien-Hung, the two senior managers for design and innovation Huang Hung-yi and Huang Kuo-ching, head of the Department of Design Manufacture Hung Chung-yi and an employee named Chen Shih-tsou. The amount de penalty has not yet been determined, but according to the recently revised law on trade secrets, they face up to ten years in prison and fines ranging from converted 70,000 and 1.2 million euros. If the loss amount exceeds 1.2 million euros, the theoretical maximum penalty would even set to ten times the illegal income.
HTC’s judgment against News.com has commented: “The company expects its employees to observe the highest levels of integrity and ethics and act accordingly. The protection of intellectual property of the company, their secrets and their security are core responsibilities of all staff. The company approves any deviations from these principles. “
In a very successful infographic explains HTC, as the path of a new Android version of the computers at Google runs on smartphones and tablets, the manufacturer, which stations are passed on the way and what obstacles must be overcome. Chipset manufacturers, OEMs, Android skins, mobile communications etc. etc. etc. No wonder that often takes so long.
designer Jinesh Shah has left his ideas run wild and shows his own interpretation of the HTC one successor. The device itself is doing more in the background, the HTC Sense 6.0 interface and Android 4.4 (KitKat) take over the lead roles. While the basic form of the HTC one is maintained, the HTC Two Therefore (similarities to the Nokia 7260 are rather randomly) comes in opposite concept with sharp corners.
The changes are rather subtle in software, what this concept already very makes sympathetic. Clear structures, little playfulness and yet visually appealing.
Android 4.4 (KitKat) elements are also used skillfully and integrate well into the clean surface. HTC Flashing feed also plays a major role.
app icons reflect the shape of the device, which allows a very harmonious overall appearance. Like and somehow fits the style, the HTC has been pursuing the HTC one.
Finally, the animation when you leave the lockscreen. This goes directly into HTC Flashing Feed, the user would then have all the important information right at a glance.
How do you like the concept of Jinesh Shah? Whether HTC should knock on him again?
