German court throws out a patent claim in Nokia vs HTC lawsuit

Jumping off the HTC One bandwagon for a minute and putting on a collard shirt and tie we want to talk about a recent minor win for HTC in the courthouse. Yesterday, a judge in the District Court of Mannheim, Germany dismissed a patent claim that focuses on the way an Android phone accesses the Internet by way of the Google Play Store. Just to be clear as mud here, this patent lawsuit is really a big shot at Google's Android platform, but disguised as a direct shot at HTC since it is the motor burning the fuel.
