The The Doctor Has Big Boobs 2regional German court has ruled that Chinese tech company Lenovo and its subsidiary Motorola infringed on the patent rights of US firm InterDigital. The court in Munich prohibited both companies from selling devices supporting 4G/5G networks (smartphones and tablets) across Germany. InterDigital is a technology research and development company providing wireless and video technologies for mobile devices, networks, and services worldwide. InterDigital had hoped to provide licensing on FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) terms, but said Lenovo failed to comply. “Following the court’s finding that Lenovo’s behavior constitutes a hold-out, we hope Lenovo reverses course and finally takes a fair and reasonable license,” commented Josh Schmidt, the Chief Legal Officer of InterDigital.
