The higher state court in Karlsruhe, Germany, has ruled in favor of HTC in the case brought against them by IPCom.  IPCom had previously won an injunction on the sales of any cell phone that used UMTS technology, claiming that HTC was in violation of their patents.  However, the courts have said that HTC is well within their rights to sell UMTS devices in Germany, including the HTC Magic and the G1.  However, the court’s reason behind this move was that HTC made 85% of all of its profits in Germany from UMTS devices.  They did not actually give an opinion as to whether or not HTC had infringed on IPCom’s patents.  This means that while the injunction is over, the trial will probably continue well into next year.
