Apple will stop selling the iPhone 7 and 8 devices in Germany after a ban issued by the Munich District Court, according with CNBC.
“Two large courts with two different jurisdictions in the past two weeks have affirmed the value of Qualcomm's patents and cited Apple as an infringer by ordering iPhone bans in key markets of Germany and China," said Don Rosenberg, executive vice president of Qualcomm Incorporated.
However, CNBC reported that Apple will continue to make devices available through carriers and other resellers. Sales will stop at 15 stores Apple retail in Germany.
Earlier this month, Qualcomm won a similar case in China, which applies to iPhones 6S, iPhones 6S Plus, iPhones 7, iPhones 7 Plus, iPhones 8, iPhones 8 Plus and iPhone X.
Intel general adviser Steven Rodgers said Qualcomm is joining a pipeline campaign that will reduce innovation and raise prices if it is successful.
"Qualcomm's goal is not to justify its intellectual property rights, but to drive market competition in premium brands and to defend a business model that will ultimately hurt consumers," Rodgers said.
Apple and Qualcomm began the lawsuits in January 2017, when Cupertino filed one treatment seeking $1 billion in damages because Qualcomm withheld payments owed to Apple in retaliation for Apple's cooperation with South Korean regulators.
