Update 2/7/2024 1:40pm PT: We added a statement from R2 Semiconductor to the end of the article.
A regional court in Düsseldorf, Germany, ruled Wednesday that Intel infringed a patent of R2 Semiconductor, a U.S.-based company, and subsequently issued an injunction against sales of some of Intel's previous-gen processors in Germany, according to a report by Financial Times. Dell and HP devices could be impacted, too. The ruling prohibits the sales of select Intel processors and devices based on Intel processors in the country. Intel believes its products do not infringe on R2 Semiconductor's patents and has asked a German patent court to invalidate the patent.
