HTC Nokia's injunction doesn't apply to the One
In an email to press, HTC took the opportunity to make a few clarifications
about the injunction filed by Nokia this week regarding the dual-membrane
microphone in the One. The preliminary injunction claims that the high-
amplitude mic, which HTC uses in its flagship device, was supposed to be
manufactured exclusively for the Finnish company (and currently used in the
Lumia 720). If you've been wondering how this particular action would affect
sales of the high-end HTC handset, spokespeople assure us that it's
business as usual for the company. According to its official statement, the
One is not the actual target of any injunction in The Netherlands -- in
actuality, the legalities of the matter are apparently only between Nokia
and STMicroelectronics, the supplier of the component in question. HTC tells
us that Nokia's attempts to institute a recall of the One failed; since the
products were purchased in good faith, the ruling states that HTC can
continue to use microphones that are in its inventory. Despite having a
history rich in manufacturing delays, we've been told that this legal ruling
will have no effect on the One's availability. The Taiwanese phone maker
plans a transition to "improved microphone designs" as soon as its current
stock of STM supplies has been exhausted, a move which HTC claims will be
transparent to consumers. Head below to see the full statement. |
