ICYMI: Oppo and OnePlus' refusal to pay licensing fees to Nokia gets them kicked out of Germany.
reports that Finnish telecommunications company Nokia has won two patent lawsuits against Oppo and OnePlus. A Mannheim district court found that Oppo was indeed using the patented technologies for its 5G phones and since they were not licensed, the relevant phones were essentially being sold illegally.
For now, Oppo and OnePlus have stopped device sales in Germany and their respective websites are now bereft of any phones. OnePlus and Oppo are not big players in Germany and have less than 5 percent of the market so this shouldn't be a big blow to the companies as far as sales are concerned, but they surely wouldn't want to be known as patent thieves and have decided to shift the blame to Nokia.
We are actively working with the relevant parties to resolve the ongoing legal matter. While sales and marketing of the relevant products are on hold, OnePlus remains committed to the German market and will continue our operations. Meanwhile, OnePlus users in Germany can continue to enjoy our products and related services such as regular software updates and our after-sales service as before.
Oppo adopted a similar tone and blamed Nokia for the"unreasonably high contract renewal fee" for the patents. This dispute will not affect the current phones and the companies will likely continue providing software support.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
