OnePlus has suffered a major setback. According to the report of GizmoChina, the sale of OnePlus smartphones has once again been banned in Germany. This ban on OnePlus has been imposed due to the ongoing patent dispute with InterDigital. Inter Digital is a research and development company in wireless technology. Inter Digital alleges that OnePlus is using its patented technology without permission. Due to the ongoing controversy, the phones have been currently removed from OnePlus’ German online store. However, the company’s other devices like OnePlus Pad 2 and OnePlus Watch 2 are still available for sale on the website.
OnePlus issued a statement
OnePlus issued a statement saying that the company values ​​​​intellectual property rights above all else and is committed to resolving the matter with Inter Digital through negotiations. The company also assured the users that the existing devices will continue to be supported and the company will remain dedicated to the European market despite the current challenges.
There was a long dispute with Nokia also
This is not the first time that OnePlus is facing similar problems in Germany. The company was in a licensing dispute with Nokia before Inter Digital. However, after a long dispute, there was a reconciliation between Nokia and OnePlus and the company made a comeback in the German market. OnePlus’s new smartphone OnePlus 13 is about to enter the market. In such a situation, it is believed that the company will try to end its dispute with Inter Digital soon.
Let us tell you that the company’s new phone OnePlus 13 can be launched in the market this month. According to leaked reports, the company can provide Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset in this phone. The phone can come with up to 24 GB RAM. For photography, it can be provided with three 50 megapixel cameras. The battery of the phone can be 6000mAh, which will support 100 Watt charging.
