In the same case, Judge Richard Arnold may have given the game away regarding the upcoming HTC M8, or HTC One Two as it is also known.
Court documents show that 'Nokia has adduced evidence which suggests that the launch date is in the first quarter of 2014, and possibly as early as February 2014".
This in itself holds little weight as we already knew it was on its way, but it seems that the HTC One Two will break cover in time to appear at MWC 2014.
Its all about the timing
The timing of the launch seems crucial for the Taiwanese firm, as it looks to be the deciding factor in keeping the HTC One on sale in the UK.
"I accept that there is a period between now and February or March 2014 when HTC is vulnerable" said Judge Arnold.
With the Samsung Galaxy S5 possibly launching around the same time, the HTC One Two may have to launch sooner rather than later.

Gifts for movie fans
Husky Union Jack Mini Fridge - £140
A fine selection of refreshments is a must for any movie night - preferably in a mini fridge such as this one from Husky, enabling you to just sit back and relax, happy in the knowledge that all your nourishment needs are only an arm stretch away.
If you prefer your big-screen kicks at your desk, you don't need that big a screen. This Philips 27-inch monitor is big enough to make 3D movies look stunning just a few feet from your face. It even creates an ambient glow behind the screen as the mood of the movie changes.
The grown-up Roku is a tiny but brilliant media-streaming box, offering on-demand entertainment from Sky, Netflix, the BBC and more over the internet. Just plug it into your TV, and you'll have access to hundreds of high-quality movies instantly.
This vintage-style popcorn maker turns out authentic popcorn, just like a real cinema, ensuring a constant stream of snacks to keep your energy levels up for marathon movie sessions.
Not content with old-school DVD movies? Then Sony's BDP-S790 player offers HD Blu-ray. Need more depth? It's also 3D capable. Not enough? You'll be pleased to know it has Digital Cinema 4K built-in, which enables you to watch movies at four times the quality of Full HD. Amazing!
Movies at the cinema are shown in super-widescreen, but most home displays aren't the right size, so you don't get the full experience. This Windows 8 laptop has a 21:9 ratio display so you get the entire picture - and you can take it everywhere.
What's a movie without incredible surround sound? Not a proper one, if you ask us. But fear not - Q Acoustics' set of speakers bring the sort of realistic sound that might make your neighbours a little envious.
Nothing beats the experience of having a massive screen to watch movies on, but unless you want to lose half your lounge to a big black box, a projector is the way forward. BenQ's W703D projector is not only Full HD, but it also offers 3D viewing so you really can have the cinema at home.
This quiet machine throws images up to 300 inches across, with deep blacks and lush colours. Its Iris 3 technology judges optimum aperture openings, creating a dynamic image with a 100,000:1 contrast range. 3D performance falls a little short of expectations, but two pairs of specs are thrown in to distract you. For 2D, the SXRD light engine and Reality Creation processor keep things crisp. This is our choice for big movies.
This projector's blacks could be deeper, but there's nuance in the shadows and no shortage of detail, even at the maximum 300-inch image size. Indeed, at 2,400 lumens the Epson is so bright you won't need black-out blinds, making it ideal for daytime film marathons.
It's also quiet, particularly in Eco mode, although when you engage 3D it gets noticeably louder. It does, however, deliver clean, immersive active shutter 3D. Glasses cost extra.
Packing a killer contrast punch, with image sizes up to 200 inches across, this is a heavyweight in every way. It has unbeatable native contrast - 50,000:1 - with no need for the dynamic iris systems employed by Sony and others.
Blacks are velvety and colour fidelity is superb. The DLA-X35 is 3D-ready, but there are issues with crosstalk. However, for 2D HD projection, it's hard to fault.
It may lack the brightness of rival LCD and DLP projectors, but the Acer K750 will never need a replacement bulb because it uses a revolutionary LED laser light source instead.
Picture quality is good, but you need to be in a very dark room if you want to see images that live up to the 100,000:1 quoted contrast. It's not 3D-ready, but it can handle the third dimension with help from a DLP Link processor.
Despite being the cheapest projector here, this 1080p DLP number from BenQ serves up superb images. Output is 2,000 lumens and it musters a 235-inch image from 19 feet.
Images have impressive clarity, motion resolution is good, and while it may not offer the darkest blacks, the W1070 is still capable of a snappy 10,000:1 dynamic range. It's also 3D capable, although no glasses are supplied in the box.
It looks like ZTE is gearing up to launch a successor to its extremely thin 5-inch Grand S handset.
A new phone labeled the Grand SII was recently cleared by the Telecom Equipment Certification Center, the Chinese equivalent of the FCC.
According to the network license the Grand S successor will come with an even larger 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 screen. Despite the small bump in screen size, it will remain relatively thin at 154 x 77 x 7.9mm.
It will also be rocking Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 chipset with 2GB of RAM. Overall it seems to be mostly a flat upgrade on hardware except the rear camera has been lowered from a 13MP to 8MP rear snapper. The phone is likely to also have a MicroSD slot as well.
Coming stateside?

The version of the phone listed in the network license comes with a radio working on the TD-SCDMA band, making it ready for China Mobile's network.
However there are also rumors that a Snapdragon 800 model for WCDMA networks is also in the works. If this is true, we could see the phone at CES in Las Vegas or Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
We'll let you know if the word on the Internet street is legit as soon as we hear something new on this.
The days of Brit-based Android owners casting an envious eye at the iTunes Store may be coming to an end after Google agreed a deal to bring content from leading US cable network HBO to the Play store.
The deal brings hit big-budget shows like Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, Game of Thrones, Girls and Veep to the Play Store, with more on the way next year, according to the network.
As yet, those are the only five shows available for Google Play users. There's no Eastbound & Down and no access to classic archive shows like The Sopranos, The Wire and Band of Brothers.
Episodes are available on the web or on mobile devices for £2.49 in HD or £1.89 in standard definition, while season costs vary. Game of Thrones S3, for example, is £18.49.
More please...
The roll-out comes only a couple of months after Play Store patrons in the US received access to HBO's line-up for the first time.
That library was also limited at first, but a vast array of HBO content has since been added across the pond. It now includes the likes of The Newsroom, Sex and the City, Rome and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The UK should be up to speed soon, according to Colin Smith, director of international digital distribution for HBO, who says this is just the beginning.
He said: "This is an exciting time for HBO in the digital space and we can't wait to work with Google over the coming weeks and months to deliver all of our series and films to their platform, including a host of new and returning HBO shows throughout 2014."
Lets hope Google ties up the loose ends faster than you can say "Die, King Joffrey! Die!"
The Sky+ app for iOS and Android got a little more useful on Tuesday with users now able to remotely instruct their living room set-top box to download On Demand content.
The feature, rolled out on both platforms today, means users will be able to download the content during the day and then dive in to their favourite shows as soon as they get home.
In order to obtain the new functionality, users must have the latest version of the software on the connected Sky+ box, with the company rolling out the updates as we speak.
The app update also brings the ability for Sky customers to browse the Showcase on demand sections regardless of whether the set-top box is synced with the handset.
Queueing up the content
While the act of downloading is a minor inconvenience, the new feature will be handy, for example, when scanning the on-demand offerings on the way home and queueing up content for the evening.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Sky's Brand Director of TV Products said: "The Sky+ app is incredibly popular with our customers; with over 2 million using the app every month and in October alone over 2.4 million shows were set to record using the Sky+ app.
"We know the way our customers are watching TV is changing and On Demand has become much more popular. Over 3.4m homes with a Sky+HD box connected to broadband are now downloading around millions of On Demand shows and movies every week."
