A Chinese court has barred Apple from selling multiple iPhone models in the country, finding the tech giant infringed on Qualcomm patents
A Chinese court has barred Apple from selling multiple iPhone models in the world’s most populated country, finding the tech giant infringed on two patents held by Qualcomm, the chip company announced on Monday.
The preliminary injunction, issued on Nov. 30, doesn’t impact Apple’s latest iPhones — the XR, XS and XS — but does prevent the company from selling any model between the iPhone 6s and X. Qualcomm said in its statement the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court found Apple violated two nonstandard essential patents — one dealing with picture editing software and another with swiping through apps.
