The Android operating system has been cleared of patent infringement in a case brought by Nokia against Android smartphone maker HTC.
Nokia on Friday lost two patent suits it brought against HTC in the District Court of Mannheim, Germany, court spokesman Joachim Bock said in an email. In both cases, the suits were rejected because, according to the court, there was no patent infringement, Bock said.
“Nokia’s main demands were—as usual in similar cases—to stop HTC making use of products which make use of the patent and to get compensation for the damage,” he said.
Nokia alleged that HTC infringed on its EP0812120 patent (the 120 patent) entitled Method for using services offered by a telecommunications network, a telecommunications system, and a terminal for it, a patent that describes the working of application stores.
