The Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court ruled that Qualcomm won the case in which Qualcomm sued the iPhone for patent infringement, and demanded that Apple immediately stop importing, selling and promising to sell unauthorized iPhones in China, involving seven iPhone models.
The civil ruling pointed out that Apple's patent infringement against Qualcomm was a "card metaphor of activities in computing equipment", and the patent number was ZL20131045438+0586.438+0. The patented technology is to use multiple cards to represent different applications in GUI (interactive process), and operate the cards by sliding gestures to switch and exit mobile phone applications.
The court held that Qualcomm's request was based on procedural law. At the same time, the court mentioned that the patent infringement involved Qualcomm's invention patent of "Card Metaphor in Computing Device", and Qualcomm provided a copy of the patent, confirming that Qualcomm was the patentee of the patent.
It is said that the patents involved include adjusting and resetting the size and appearance of photos, browsing, finding and quitting applications on mobile phones, and managing applications through touch screens. Some people think that this is a patent based on the iOS system, and the latest version of iOS 12 is not affected by these two patents, so the latest version of Apple's mobile phone is excluded.

The Munich District Court of Germany found that Apple products infringed Qualcomm's intellectual property rights, and granted Qualcomm a permanent ban, demanding that Apple stop selling and promise to sell and import the infringing iPhone in Germany.
It is understood that the judgment covers all iPhone models with infringing functions and applies to Apple's entities in the European Union and Apple's entities in the United States. After Qualcomm has provided the corresponding amount of guarantee, the judgment will be executed immediately. Qualcomm said that the guarantee will be submitted within a few days.
In response, Apple issued a statement saying that the company will appeal this judgment. Throughout the appeal process, Apple will not sell iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in German 15 retail stores, and will continue to sell the latest iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhoneV XR. In addition, all iPhone models can still be sold through German operators and third-party retailers.
