Nokia於2012.5.2.在德國Mannheim地方法院控告HTC侵害其專利案(詳見：http://km-ip.blogspot.tw/2012/05/nokia.html)，2013.3.8.宣判，法官認為：HTC並未侵權以下2項專利，進而駁回Nokia提訴。
在宣判前，Nokia因EP1312974已先取得禁制令(Injunction)，及1億歐元擔保金(bond)，使HTC在德國地區無法銷售相關手機產品。
Smart的看法
訴訟過程最讓被告受到壓力的就是產品不能銷售，本案Nokia申請禁制令，讓HTC的產品不能銷售，雖然判決很快，禁制令的執行只有幾個月的時間，但對3C產品而言，幾個月的時間即足以使一個新產品走完生命週期，在這樣的壓力下，很多被告只好選擇和解，這也是為什麼會有這麼多的侵權案看不到最後判決的原因。
本案的系爭專利為：EP0812120、EP1312974，其中前者號稱是Nokia的旗艦專利，摘要如下。
EP0812120
