Lenovo and Motorola phones, tablets and other devices banned in Germany
- Lenovo and Motorola's sales of devices with WWAN modules have been banned in Germany due to patent disputes with InterDigital, affecting smartphones, tablets mobile-enabled laptops that use mobile networks such as GSM, UMTS, LTE, and 5G.
- InterDigital is disputing the licensing terms for WWAN technology used in Lenovo's newly launched products that it holds patents for, claiming Lenovo has not met its demand for fair and reasonable licensing fees, while Lenovo argues that InterDigital's terms are not fair.
- SEPs and FRAND licensing terms are at the root of the ongoing legal issue, with SEPs being critical for technological functionalities in mobile communications.
- This has significant implications for the tech industry, requiring companies to manage their intellectual property and negotiate licensing agreements more carefully.
- Motorola's German website does not list any of its smartphones or tablets for sale, with only a few accessories that do not use the disputed technology.
- For German consumers, the impact of the ban is gradually becoming apparent with potential shortages and delivery issues.
- Retailers may still have existing stock, yet this highlights broader challenges in the tech industry over patents and licensing terms.
- This legal dispute between the companies will take place in London on June 10, where the UK Court of Appeal will review the FRAND ruling by High Court judge James Mellor.
- The future of this dispute will likely involve further legal proceedings and negotiations to resolve the issues surrounding FRAND licensing terms and patent fees.
- This is not InterDigital's first dispute. Last year, the British High Court ruled that InterDigital’s patent license fee should not be higher than $0.175 per device.
