A number of HTC devices including its flagship HTC One smartphone infringe on a Nokia mobile networks standards patent, a U.K. court ruled Wednesday.
HTC sued Nokia, trying to get the patent declared invalid in the U.K. as a defensive tactic, but failed to achieve this when Sir Richard David Arnold, the judge in charge of the patents court of the England and Wales High Court ruled (http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2013/3247.html) Wednesday that the patent is valid and was infringed by HTC. The patent describes a “modulator structure for a transmitter and a mobile station.”
HTC will appeal the ruling immediately, an HTC spokesman said in an emailed statement.
The ruling is a significant development in Nokia’s dispute with HTC, said Nokia spokesman Mark Durrant in an email.
