Nokia Oyj is seeking to block Lenovo Group Ltd. from selling products in Germany after a patent victory, escalating a fight over licensing.
The action follows a Sept. 30 injunction from a Munich court that bans Lenovo from selling anything using Nokia video-compression technology. On Tuesday, Nokia sought to enforce the ruling, which covers PCs, laptops and tablets, the Finnish company said in a statement.
