Patent firm IPCom has sued German retailers for patent
infringement, since they have continued selling HTC
phones beyond a deadline it had imposed earlier this
month.
IPCom said on Thursday that it sent the retailers cease
and desist requests on December 6, asking them to stop
selling HTC's 3G handsets by December 20 following a
ruling by a German district court in 2009 in a patent
dispute with HTC.
A court in Mannheim, Germany, ruled in February 2009
against HTC in a patent fight with IPCom, allowing an
injunction against sales of HTC phones using UMTS
technology, and setting a penalty of up to
€250,000 each time the injunction was
contravened. |
