Acer and Asus have suspended direct PC and laptop sales in Germany after a court ruling handed Nokia a significant win in a patent dispute over HEVC video compression technology. The decision, issued by the Munich I Regional Court, effectively blocks the Taiwanese manufacturers from offering, importing, or marketing affected systems in the country until the licensing conflict is resolved.
At the center of the case is the widely used video compression standard HEVC, also known as H.265. Nokia owns several standard-essential patents tied to the codec and argued that Acer and Asus failed to obtain proper licenses under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms.
