Some Apple iPhone Models Could Face A Ban In Germany

From CRN: Next up in the ongoing dispute between Qualcomm and Apple: a possible ban on sales of certain iPhone models in Germany as a result of alleged patent infringement by Apple, according to a court ruling in the country.

The ruling follows a court-ordered ban on the sale of certain iPhone models in China that also stemmed from a patent dispute between chip maker Qualcomm and device maker Apple.

In the Germany case, the ban affects iPhone models with a chip from Qorvo Inc., according to a Reuters report. The chip infringes a Qualcomm patent related to an energy-saving measure known as "envelope tracking," Reuters said.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
