Taiwanese technology giants Asus and Acer have begun restoring the operation of their official online stores in Germany. The companies were forced to go offline due to a serious patent dispute with Nokia, which accused them of illegal use of HEVC. The court sided with the rights holder and issued an injunction banning the sale of devices infringing patents in Germany. At the same time, Nokia has no competing devices at all.

At the moment, the situation looks ambiguous. The companies’ websites are operational again, and users can order accessories, peripherals, and some components. However, laptops, smartphones, and ready-made desktop PCs are still unavailable for direct purchase from the manufacturers. On the product pages, either the label "out of stock" is displayed, or the purchase button is simply disabled.
