However, TCL can still appeal the decision. The pair are also embroiled in two other lawsuits over LTE technology.
LG Electronics said on Tuesday it has won a patent infringement lawsuit against TCL in Germany. According to LG, the Mannheim Regional Court last week ruled in favour of the South Korean company, having found that TCL infringed upon LG’s standard essential patent, EP 2 627 146 B1, in Germany. The patent is related to LTE technology. LG said it would take immediate steps to halt TCL from using patented technology in its smartphones without a licence.
