Meanwhile, the battle over mRNA vaccines is still attracting attention four years after the outbreak of coronavirus, while glucose monitoring and heart valves are proving to be perennial topics of interest. Interestingly, none of the major mobile communications battles at the UPC has made it onto this year’s most-read. Instead, experts were interested in our report on the Nokia-Oppo settlement that never reached the UPC level. Also our report from December 2023 on Huawei’s blow against Amazon over Wifi-6 routers in Germany attracted readers in 2024.
