Germany bans Ford cars with internet link over patent dispute
德国因专利纠纷禁止销售联网福特汽车
Ford is now surrounded by problems after a judge in the Munich court barred Ford Motor Company from selling or manufacturing vehicles in Germany if it doesn’t settle the dispute over microchips. As reported by German magazine Wirtschaftswoche, Ford Motors is believed to include 4G wireless chips for which the corporation has not paid licensing costs.
有外媒报道称，德国法院对福特下达了适用于全国范围的销售和生产禁令，福特因此将无法在该国销售和生产可接入互联网的汽车。该事件的起因是，福特卷入了专利纠纷。据悉福特在其车辆中搭载了4G芯片，但并未为此支付专利费用，因此遭到移动通信技术专利所有者指控。该公司希望汽车制造商为导航系统、车辆通信和自动驾驶汽车中使用的技术支付专利费，以推动自动驾驶。
