 No license
“The facts show that Daimler and its supporters in the case aren’t willing to take a license,” the court said in a statement.

The ruling potentially could allow Nokia to stop Daimler from selling vehicles in Germany, but doing so would require Nokia to post collateral of 7 billion euros ($8.3 billion) in a separate proceeding. Daimler said it didn’t expect Nokia to seek a sales ban.

‘Major endorsement’
“Today’s finding is a major endorsement of the long-term engineering work by innovators at Nokia and the important principle that innovators should receive a fair reward,” Jenni Lukander, president of Nokia Technologies, said in a statement. “We hope that Daimler will now accept its obligations and take a license on fair terms.”

This is the official version.

Yet something tells us we won't hear the entire story too soon. Who knows what else is in there. Who knows, maybe this is a sign of things to come and Volkswagen's Diesel-gate was a walk in the park compared to what is coming to the once great and immaculate Benz.
All we know we see some dark clouds around Mercedes.
This may not look good in the resume of earnings either.

Does it mean darkness is coming? 

Maybe Mercedes' shiny star is starting to fall.
Eventually.

Who knows?
