The article talkes about threatening to block sales. But apparently Lenovo has already stopped selling devices using the video codec completely. The German online store has currently only accessories to offer.
> Das Gericht will mit dem Verkaufsstopp beide Unternehmen an einen Tisch zwingen, damit sie ein Lizenzabkommen aushandeln.
This roughly translates to: With this sales ban, the court wants to bring both parties back to the table so they negotiate a license agreement.
This doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't the sales ban only force Lenovo into accepting an unreasonably high license fee so they can minimize the damage?
