A Chinese court has announced a ban on the sales of several iPhone models which were involved in a patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm.
The Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court on Nov. 30 granted two preliminary injunctions issued by Qualcomm against four subsidiaries of Apple in China. The banned products include several iPhone models including the iPhone 6S to the iPhone X, whose patent rights have been confirmed by China’s National Intellectual Property Administration, news portal
reported, citing a Qualcomm statement from Monday.
The patents involved in the case allow users to adjust and reformat the size and appearance of photos and allow applications to be managed via touchscreen.
In response, Apple called Qualcomm’s action a “desperate move” and said that all iPhone models remain available in China, adding that the company will pursue all legal options through the courts,
reported.
Similar claims for Apple’s infringement of Qualcomm’s patents are currently ongoing in China and other countries as well, as the two US tech giants have been engaged in a row of legal disputes over patent rights in the past years. Specifically, Qualcomm has reportedly filed more than 50 lawsuits in 16 jurisdictions in six different countries."
