HTC stopped selling smartphones in the UK after a patent infringement

HTC is a brand that marks a milestone in the mobile device industry, but has not been able to compete with leading companies such as Samsung, Huawei, Sony and LG. Despite trying to take off with cell phones using blockchain technology, the latter option in many cases was to give up the mobile device market. However, the Taiwan brand achieved a 94% profit in just one month.

 In 2012, a court ruled that HTC violated the patent of Ipcom, a research and development company, using wireless technology for mobile phones. At that time, the HTC recommended power company to implement alternative technology, this is what has already happened. However, Ipcom has returned to court to report HTC's failure to comply with the initial recommendation. Apparently, Ipcom conducted tests earlier this year where it decided that HTC Desire 12 did not include alternative technology. In this sense, the German company Ipcom says the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC has violated the British court's ruling. HTC has published a series of procedures to show the court that it complied with the court order. Therefore, the manufacturer decided to suspend sales of its smartphones in the UK. This means that its phones are no longer available on the HTC website, nor in the Carphone Warehouse, Vodafone, EE and O2 stores in the UK. The company also told the BBC that as an innovative leader in the mobile market, HTC takes patent problems seriously and thus revealed that it has launched an investigation in order to provide a timely response to the Ipcom claim and prove that the products are truly genuine.
