Irish NPE Reports Grant of Injunction by Mannheim Court

Solas OLED Ltd., an Irish NPE, reported last week that the Mannheim Landgericht has issued a judgment in its favor, in a patent infringement action (Case No. 7 O 37/19) against LG and Sony.  The press release is available in English here, and in German here.  As far as I can tell, the decision has not been published yet, but I will continue to check back from time to time on dejure.org.  According to the press release, however, Solas filed suit for the infringement of DE 102 54 522 B4 ("Active matrix driving circuit") which originally issued to the University of Stuttgart in 2008; and the court stated, in a 43-page decision, that the plaintiff's status as a patent enforcement entity did not justify denial of an injunction.  Hat tip to Norman Siebrasse for bringing this to my attention.
