Recently on the Internet, we saw a judgment issued by the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court on the patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm. In this judgment, we saw that the court supported Qualcomm’s patent and Based on Qualcomm's request and relevant legal regulations, an explicit order was issued to ban the sale of Apple's series of products involving infringement, which made many friends very curious about a question: Is the iPhone really completely banned in China? Someone tried to buy one, and the result...
There is actually a reason for the curiosity of friends. As we all know, judgments involving patent infringement are in order to safeguard the legality of the patent holder. Rights and interests will be implemented as soon as possible, but now, Apple's mobile phones are still being sold normally, and there is no final ban. Many friends also tried it deliberately and found that they can still buy Apple mobile phones normally. Why?
The first reason is that the sales ban has not yet taken effect. It has been confirmed that this news is true. The reason why it has not been implemented yet is because according to the law, after making a judgment, Apple can also file a reconsideration application with the court. If the result of the reconsideration is still the result of the first instance, Only then can the court issue the final prohibition order. Therefore, the result of the review has not yet come out, the sales ban has not taken effect, and Apple's mobile phones can still be sold normally.
The second reason is that the scope of the ban is limited. Because this ban is issued to safeguard Qualcomm's normal patent rights and interests, it will ban the sale of Apple mobile phones involved in infringement. Since last year, the cooperation between Qualcomm and Apple in the chip field has been shattered, and The technology used in this year's three mobile phones was jointly developed by Apple and Intel. Therefore, this year's three models are not involved in this Apple infringement incident. Therefore, even if the sales ban takes effect, this year's three mobile phones will still work normally. Enjoy and won't be affected by the lockdown!
The third reason is that Apple will find ways to provide sales channels. The models involved in the ban this time are basically Apple's most mainstream mobile phones, and our country's market is one of Apple's overseas markets with the greatest development potential and the strongest consumption power. If it is really banned, then Apple will The losses are very heavy, and such a ban will inevitably have a greater impact on Apple's stock price. Therefore, even if the sales ban takes effect, Apple will still try to ensure normal sales channels. So, friends, don’t worry, but maybe after the sales ban comes into effect, the price of Apple mobile phones will be greatly reduced!
