German court throws out lawsuits against Apple
Saturday, 1 March 2014
BERLIN, Feb 28: A German court threw out on Friday two copyright violation lawsuits against US tech giant Apple by German firm IPCom.
"Both suits were rejected. IPCom can now appeal against the verdict," a spokesman for the court in Mannheim told AFP.
German patent-holding company IPCom had been seeking 1.57 billion euros ($2.0 billion) in damages from Apple for allegedly infringing a patent it holds on mobile technology that allows priority access to certain mobile phone calls even when a network is saturated. — AFP
