MUNICH/SAN FRANCISCO: Chip supplier Qualcomm Inc won a second court skirmish in its worldwide patent battle with Apple Inc on Dec 20, with the iPhone maker saying it would pull some older models from its German stores. 

Qualcomm’s win in Germany comes weeks after it secured a court order to ban sales of some iPhone models in China. Apple, which is contesting both rulings, has continued to offer its iPhones in China but made changes to its iOS operating system in the wake of the Chinese order.
