Is there a link to the judgement, or at the very least a link to anywhere but Apple and Qualcomm’s press release websites?
EDIT: Post updated to a better link, thanks mods!
- yorwba 8y agoIt's not yet public apparently, but might eventually appear at either https://dejure.org/2018,42849 https://dejure.org/2018,42849 or https://dejure.org/2018,42797 https://dejure.org/2018,42797 or maybe both.
- detaro 8y agoDon't think the judgement is released yet. Here's the (obviously German) press release of the court: https://www.justiz.bayern.de/gerichte-und-behoerden/landgericht/muenchen-1/presse/2018/9php%2E https://www.justiz.bayern.de/gerichte-und-behoerden/landgeri...
- xxpor 8y agoWell this seems important (google translated, so take with a grain of salt): >Rather, for procedural reasons, the board had to base its decision on the fact that the chip works as the claimant asserts (see section "Background" in this press release). Therefore, in the opinion of the Chamber, no witnesses were allowed to be heard who had been brought by the defendant on the last date - without charge of the court - nor was the Chamber allowed to examine the schematics of the attacked chip. It sounds like due to the law in Germany, they HAD to assume that Qualcomm was correct in their assessment of the situation. The court didn't actually find in fact that there was infringement.
- yorwba 8y agoThey had to assume Qualcomm to be correct, because Apple refused to explain exactly how Qualcomm was wrong. If one side makes detailed accusations, the other side has to refute them in equal detail. (That's explained in II)
- ashildr 8y agoAnd Apple can’t tell how Qaulcomm is wrong because Apple just buys the chips and does not manufacture them. Beautiful, isn’t it?
