On August 6, it was reported that HTC was currently prohibited from selling its smartphones through major British retailers after a patent dispute with IPCOM.

IPCOM is a research and development organization, which claims to have a wireless technology patent developed for cars and mobile phones, and HTC's mobile phones use this patent. IPCOM said HTC "ignored the law and violated a ruling of the British court".

The report quoted a spokesman of HTC as saying that HTC attaches great importance to intellectual property rights and is investigating infringement claims "involving a single mobile phone model".

However, all HTC smart phones have been taken off the shelves by Carphone Warehouse, a British mobile phone retailer. The British mobile network operator O2 said that when you choose any model of HTC, they will "no longer ship", while the other operator EE currently only provides HTC 5G Hub, which is a combination of router and smart speaker, and it is not affected by related patents.

On HTC's UK official website, mobile phones are also out of stock. Only Amazon can buy HTC U12+at a price of 699 pounds (about 5981 yuan). It carries Snapdragon 845, which has been released for 13 months. The mobile phone has not changed. I think domestic consumers seldom buy HTC mobile phones now.
