FRANKFURT, Feb 6 (Reuters) - A German court has ordered French carmaker Renault RENA.PA to halt the sale of its Megane and Clio models in a dispute over patent rights with U.S. technology group Broadcom AVGO.O, business magazine WirtschaftsWoche reported on Friday.
The regional court in Munich found that Renault does not have the license to use certain ethernet network cable connections in the two models, said the magazine.
The Munich court did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Renault could not immediately be reached for comment.
WirtschaftsWoche added that the verdict would not come into force unless Broadcom pays a deposit worth "several millions" of euros and that Renault could also suspend enforcement by lodging an appeal or seeking a settlement.
