OnePlus is once again in hot water in Germany due to a patent dispute—this time with InterDigital, a major player in wireless technology research.
The dispute centers around key patents related to 5G technology, leading to a fresh ban on OnePlus smartphone sales in Germany.
This comes just months after resolving a similar issue with Nokia that previously affected both OnePlus and Oppo devices in the country.
Currently, OnePlus smartphones are unavailable in Germany, though other products, such as earbuds, smartwatches, and tablets, are still for sale.
OnePlus remains committed to resolving the issue and has issued a statement emphasizing the importance of intellectual property rights and fair access to patents for innovation.
With the OnePlus 13 rumored to launch soon, the company is likely hoping for a quicker resolution than the two-year struggle with Nokia.
Meanwhile, smartphone fans may have to wait to see OnePlus devices back on the German market as negotiations continue.
