蘋果公司真要涼涼？德國也頒佈了蘋果禁售令！大綱
Chip supplier Qualcomm Inc won a second court skirmish in its worldwide patent battle with Apple on Thursday, with the iPhone maker saying it would pull some older models from its German stores.
芯片供應商高通公司週四在與蘋果公司的全球專利爭奪戰中贏得了第二場法庭勝訴，蘋果表示將從其德國商店下架一些舊型號的iphone。
Qualcomm's win in Germany comes weeks after it secured a court order to ban sales of some iPhone models in China.
高通公司獲得法院命令——禁止在中國銷售部分iPhone型號的幾周之後，又在德國取得勝訴。
Apple, which is contesting both rulings, has continued to offer its iPhones in China but made changes to its iOS operating system in the wake of the Chinese order.
與這兩項裁決相抗衡的蘋果公司繼續在中國推出iPhone，但在中國的判決結果下來之後對iOS操作系統進行了修改。
The German victory may affect only a few million iPhones out of the hundreds of millions that Apple sells each year.
在德國的勝訴可能只會影響蘋果每年銷售的數億部iPhone中的數百萬部iPhone。
Still, it is a small but clear win in a complex legal battle that will spin into overdrive in the coming months as antitrust regulators and Apple both take Qualcomm to court in the United States.
這複雜的法律鬥爭將持續好幾個月，因爲監管機構和蘋果公司都將高通公司告上美國法庭。儘管如此，這還是一次雖小但確切的勝訴。
Apple alleges that Qualcomm engaged in illegal behavior to preserve a monopoly on modem chips, which help mobile devices connect to wireless data networks. Qualcomm has in turn accused Apple of using the chip supplier's vast stable of technology innovations without proper compensation.
蘋果聲稱高通公司非法保護對幫助移動設備連接到無線數據網絡的芯片的壟斷。高通公司反過來指責蘋果公司在沒有適當補償的情況下使用他們芯片的大量技術創新。
While a sales ban in China could hurt Apple's bottomline , it is unlikely the two patent skirmishes will sway the outcome of the broader battle, where Qualcomm has suffered a series of setbacks fighting U.S. antitrust regulators.
雖然中國的銷售禁令可能會損害蘋果的底線，但這兩場專利衝突不太可能會有更廣泛影響，因爲高通公司在和美國反壟斷監管機構的鬥爭中屢遇挫折。
