HTC sets the record straight about the court actions in the Netherlands -- there is no injunction against HTC, there will be no recall of smart phones
HTC has released a statement today concerning the recent court hearings between ST Microelectronics and Nokia. In case you didn't catch it, Nokia sought an injunction over part of the microphone assembly used in the HTC One provided by ST Micro. The courts found in Nokia's favor, but agreed that HTC was "blameless" and no action was taken against them.
In light of several misleading stories regarding a recent injunction obtained by Nokia against STM (a supplier of components to HTC in The Netherlands) HTC looks to clarify the following points:
- Nokia has NOT obtained an injunction in The Netherlands, or anywhere else, against the HTC One.
- The Dutch proceedings were brought by Nokia solely against STM. HTC was not sued by Nokia in the Netherlands.
- The Dutch injunction prohibits STM from selling certain microphones to any company other than Nokia for a limited period.
- The judgment against STM states that HTC can continue to use microphones already purchased from STM in its products, because they were purchased in good-faith. Nokia's attempt to obtain a recall of microphones already sold to HTC failed.
- HTC will transition to improved microphone designs once its inventory of STM microphones is exhausted.
Most interesting is the "improved" microphone design they will be moving to. We'll keep an eye out for that one.
The reception of the HTC One seems to have been very good, and this is good news for everyone who wants to pick one up.
