Daimler AG risks a sales ban of its cars in Germany after losing its second patent case over mobile technology in three weeks, this time against Japan’s Sharp Corp.

A court in Munich confirmed it granted an injunction to the electronics company. It’s similar to one granted to former mobile phone giant Nokia Oyj.
