Legal proceedings resolved; OnePlus One handsets to receive Cyanogen update soon

Here’s some good news for OnePlus fans! OnePlus has officially announced that the legal proceedings have been resolved and the cases have been withdrawn through mutual consent.

On its official blog, OnePlus stated, ‘The month of December last year was a momentous occasion for the OnePlus family. We launched our flagship phone, the “OnePlus One” much to the delight of our consumers here in India. And then we unexpectedly got hit by a legal snag! For reasons that were made public earlier, we had to take a legal recourse to protect our rights in light of the proceedings initiated by Micromax.’

Earlier, Cyanogen had partnered with Micromax, thus assuring the exclusivity of the new OS in India. This in turn resulted in a temporary legal ban on Cyanogen update for OnePlus handsets in India.

“OnePlus remains vindicated of the recent trials and tribulations that has surrounded the company due to legal tussle with Micromax over exclusivity on CyanogenOS. All 'OnePlus One' users in India will continue to receive OTA updates from Cyanogen in-line with our users in markets around of the world,” added Vikas Agarwal, General Manager - India, OnePlus.

This sends out a confirmation that users of One Plus can expect the Cyanogen update in the next few weeks.
