The ban on selling iPhones in Apple’s second-largest market, if enforced, could have a major impact on the company’s bottom line. Apple has argued that the patent infringement only applies to its iOS 11 system and its latest operating system iOS 12 isn’t pertinent. However, the court ruling reviewed by Yahoo Finance, doesn’t mention any specific version of iOS.

Lin Wei, an intellectual property lawyer at Beijing-based Dare & Sure Law Firm, said there are some legitimacies to Apple’s argument. “When Qualcomm sued Apple, it submitted an appraisal report, which is based on the mobile phone and system version reviewed by the agency at the time. Apple could argue the court decision is based on the old system. Now if you want to ban products with the new system, you should resue me or update your claims.”
