Yikes. There's a story from Reuters with more detail and more balanced coverage than this press release from Qualcomm: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-qualcomm-court/german-court-rules-apple-infringed-qualcomm-patent-idUSKCN1OJ1RJ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-qualcomm-court/germ... Apparently, there have been rulings in the US that Apple and Qorvo (supplier of the modem chip in question) hadn't violated this same hardware patent, based on a detailed technical analysis. So there's a chance that this ruling could be overturned on similar grounds in Germany, hence the bond that Qualcomm has to pay against possible damages. For anyone curious who isn't likely to need to avoid knowing infringement, I think this is the patent in question: https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2724461B1/en https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2724461B1/en
