WWAN modules are critical components that allow smartphones and other devices to connect to cellular networks for data and voice calls. The ban applies to a wide range of Lenovo mobile devices and popular Motorola smartphones, including the recently launched Edge 50 series.
The court sided with InterDigital, ruling that Lenovo had used its patented technologies without accepting “fair and reasonable” royalties. However, Lenovo is appealing the decision and plans to appeal, arguing that InterDigital’s licensing terms are unfair.
Currently only existing inventory from third-party retailers is available for purchase. Both Lenovo and Motorola have removed WWAN-enabled devices from their official online stores in Germany.
While out-of-court settlements are common in such cases, which could potentially lead to the return of banned devices, the timing remains unclear.
