  "textContent": "A court in Munich has prohibited the sale of desktop and laptop computers from ASUS and Acer in Germany, reports PC Welt. While the ruling's precise legal basis remains undisclosed, journalists link the decision to alleged patent violations involving Nokia. Both manufacturers have acknowledged the restriction and pledged to address the situation.\nPatent Dispute at the Center\n\nEarlier, Nokia filed lawsuits against ASUS, Acer, and Hisense, accusing the electronics companies of infringing multiple patents. According to reports, Nokia claims that the disputed technologies involve three patents related to video encoding.\nHisense reportedly settled with Nokia before court proceedings by paying licensing fees. In contrast, ASUS and Acer now face sales limitations following the Munich court's decision.",
