C HTC LIFTED THE BAN ON THE SALE OF ONE
This week all hit the news that Nokia has made a preliminary ban on sales of smartphones HTC One, because they use high-amplitude microphones developed by ST Microelectronics in collaboration with the Finnish manufacturer.
However, after considering the additional material court ultimately overturned the ban, arguing HTC guilty for what happened.
As it turned out, ST Microelectronics has been designed to produce Finnish vendor Nokia microphones exclusively for a period of 12 months. However, for some reason, the company decided that this time - just six months, and shamelessly offered an innovative component of HTC.
The Court ruled that HTC could not have known about the details of the agreement between ST Microelectronics and Nokia, so blame her for the illegal use of the ill-fated components impossible. Accordingly, sales of smart phones can not be banned.
Summary. Guilty recognized ST Microelectronics. Now, in the next 6 months, she will be forced to sell high-amplitude microphones exclusively Nokia. Besides, after purchasing Nokia stop these components for 10 months manufacturer can not sell them all.
However, to pay for "forgetfulness" ST Microelectronics have HTC. Yes, they are allowed to sell all produced at the moment smartphones One, but HTC is now an urgent need to look for another supplier of microphones, which are, first, may not possess the required characteristics, and secondly, can cost more. But in any case, it's better than getting a ban on the sale.
