When two technology giants collide with patents, the loser pushes to use the winner of the winner. Usually, regardless of who wins or loses, the end users are not affected at the lowest, at least not in the long run. It is Muslim, sometimes the products are no longer available on the market until the losing company corresponds to the court ruling, these positions tend to reform very quickly. One of the latest losers in a somewhat large patent war is Amazon. The American technology giant faces a ban in Germany after the court ruled Amazon violated a patent owned by Nokia.

The German court ruled that Amazon is no longer able to provide video broadcast services in the country until it reached an agreement with Nokia. For each violation, the technology giant in the United States will have to pay a fine of 250,000 euros ($ 260,000).

On the bright side, Amazon said that video broadcasting services in Germany will not be affected, although the company that violates the patent video broadcast technology owned by Nokia. According to Amazon, “There is absolutely no danger to customers who lose access to the main video“It is not surprising, Amazon said that her main video service will be compatible with the German court ruling and” She “You are currently studying the following steps“On the other side of the fence, Nokia is happy that the court ruled in its favor and that its patents cover broadcasting services such as Amazon Prime Video”It is now subject to a judicial order in Germany”
