HTC win right to sell phones in the UK again

HTC can breathe a huge sigh of relief.  You may recall that they were recently served with an injunction due to some of their phones containing technologies that infringed on Nokia’s patent – in particular the HTC One series.



Fortunately this afternoon the Court of Appeals granted a stay on this injunction.  HTC immediately released a statement saying, ”HTC is delighted that the Court of Appeals has granted a stay on the injunction against our products. We will immediately resume shipment of all of our devices into the UK, including the entire HTC One family. Similarly, our customers should feel confident in their ability to promote and sell all HTC devices. Even though we plan to aggressively appeal the validity decision of Nokia’s EP 0 998 024 patent, we will continue to work with our chip suppliers on alternative solutions to ensure minimal disruption to our business in the future”.



Looks like it’s round 1 to HTC…
