          [deleted post]I can't wait to say the same thing to the company that will re-sell iPhone 12 with different internals/display once they get booted out of china and japan.

            I think Lenovo recived a lot of patents when they bought Motorola från Google?
            It seems almost like Germany will ban Chinese brands on a regular basis. Before it was Oppo and OnePlus. And now Motorola.

                      I was yesterday on motorola.de and there is nothing on site except buds... I wondered why when other European Motorola sites are fine. I thought it was some kind of error.
                      And he we go, it's actually court rule.

                          Anton .el PAPI., 11 May 2024This is fixed with money, that's why things are patent... moreNo one will invest in billions in R&D to develop their technologies again if anyone can use what one has worked hard and invested in billions then other will use it without any compensation. That's what patent is for.... reward those who do the handwork and spend money to invent things.

                              Anyone here worried that soon Chinas factories will sabotage future US based phones with faulty chips out of spite or not do such a good job assembling certain parts. Idk.

                              Someone give me reassurance.

                                    I would not be happy If any brand was banned, It would just limit my options.
